Yahoo forum robbed code....
Post by Yshua on Jul 8th, 2015, 7:34pm

Dearest Richard:

My pc got stolen. Lost my beloved BBC programs. Boils down to the Yahoo forum messages, dated Sept. 18, 2010, how to check pc unique identifiers, such as cpu clock speed, which program I found, but Yahoo raided the program that checked (non text removed) revision number, family of pc, etc. Was searching for hours under API's and WMI without finding where they are under MSDN Library. Apologize for the inconvenience.

Is this the WMI class you are looking for? It includes the CPU Family, Revision and Version:

Hi Yshua,

I'm sorry to hear about your PC. Do you mean you couldn't download the program from Yahoo? It worked OK for me just now, so it might be worth trying again.

Best wishes,

D

Dearest Richard and D:

Fantastic!!!!! Worked terrific the first time with the following code changes to cpuspeed.bbc:

REM Get CPU speed using WMI:

PROCcleanup


Bravo! And with just one remaining question; How did we add the "&FFFF" default value into the field of some of the variables assigned above to prevent erroneous data?
Is there a reference in the BBC help file to explain?

Thanks again,
Yshua
