"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0" but it's value is in hexadecimal . can any body tell me , a function or API , which can change this value to decimal form . i am facing the same problem for other values also , like IP address of the m/c.
it is very urgenmt , so if any one of u , have any sol'n , please reply me ASAP

Hi
R u reading the values as strings?
if so then use sscanf() function to read the hex values of string buffer to decimal value.
sscanf(buffer,"%x",&intVal);
