Hardware ID

[Eric Smith]

Hi all.

Does anyone know of a book to read or maybe any methods themselves that are useful for identifying the hardware running on a particular system? I know one method is to enumerate the registry key HKEY_DYN_DATA/config data/enum and process the ones that are graphics drivers, sound drivers and so on. Two unfortunate things arise form this. I have to make this work on the NT as well, which has no access to the HKEY_DYN_DATA. I also don't trust the registry as it is sometimes wrong. I will, however, use the registry method until I have a better one.

Thank you.

Please send a mail to me. I'll send you a ZIP file which you can use to find information about the hardware.
