Comment: Hello How can I detect the installed hardware in my PC ? For example, I have to know if the installed Graphic Card in my PC have at least 8 Mb, or if a LAN adapter is installed in my computer, and if the TCP/IP protocol is properly installed. Can you give me any solution to detect this ?
Thank you Halimi David

Reply: (edit)Hi, I dunno any "easy" way to do this. To do it, you either use a 3rd party lib (the easy way) or read/write to ports specific for a hardware (the hard way). The problem is you must be closely familiar to the hardware you try to detect. TIA

Reply: (edit)heres a nice peice of psuedo-code for detecting a driver: int driver;
int DrvSys; DrvSys = Ge_Engine.Getdriver(engine); if (!DrvSys)
{
MessageBox(hWnd, "can't find driver...", 48);
return False;
}
