Obtaining Baseboard (Motherboard) Information using WMI\nhttp://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/wmi/win32_baseboard.htm\n\nObtaining Processor Information using WMI\nhttp://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/wmi/win32_processor.htm\n\nwhat I've found best to use for secure identification is CPU id and BIOS id.\n\nThese can be retrieved by using WMI, as in my example below.\nWMI is very powerful and can be used to get all available info about the computer.\n\nCheck here if you want to know about additional WMI classes available:\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_classes.asp\n\n---------------\n'Add the following code to a module (called e.g. WMI)\nOption Explicit\n\nPrivate m_mainWmi As Object\nPrivate m_deviceLists As Collection\n\nPrivate Function GetMainWMIObject() As Object\n  On Error GoTo eh\n  If m_mainWmi Is Nothing Then\n    Set m_mainWmi = GetObject("WinMgmts:")\n  End If\n  Set GetMainWMIObject = m_mainWmi\n  Exit Function\neh:\n  Set GetMainWMIObject = Nothing\nEnd Function\n\nPublic Function WmiIsAvailable() As Boolean\n  WmiIsAvailable = CBool(Not GetMainWMIObject Is Nothing)\nEnd Function\n\nPublic Function GetWmiDeviceSingleValue(ByVal WmiClass As String, ByVal WmiProperty As String) As String\n  On Error GoTo done\n  Dim result As String\n \n  Dim wmiclassObjList As Object\n  Set wmiclassObjList = GetWmiDeviceList(WmiClass)\n  Dim wmiclassObj As Object\n  For Each wmiclassObj In wmiclassObjList\n    result = CallByName(wmiclassObj, WmiProperty, VbGet)\n    Exit For\n  Next\n\ndone:\n  GetWmiDeviceSingleValue = Trim(result)\nEnd Function\n\nPublic Function GetWmiDeviceList(ByVal WmiClass As String) As Object\n  If m_deviceLists Is Nothing Then\n    Set m_deviceLists = New Collection\n  End If\n \n  On Error GoTo fetchNew\n \n  Set GetWmiDeviceList = m_deviceLists.Item(WmiClass)\n  Exit Function\n \nfetchNew:\n  Dim devList As Object\n  Set devList = GetWmiDeviceListInternal(WmiClass)\n  If Not devList Is Nothing Then\n    Call m_deviceLists.Add(devList, WmiClass)\n  End If\n  Set GetWmiDeviceList = devList\nEnd Function\n\nPrivate Function GetWmiDeviceListInternal(ByVal WmiClass As String) As Object\n  On Error GoTo eh\n  Set GetWmiDeviceListInternal = GetMainWMIObject.Instancesof(WmiClass)\n  Exit Function\neh:\n  Set GetWmiDeviceListInternal = Nothing\nEnd Function\n\n\n------------------------------\n\n' then anywhere in your program you could write the fllowing to get the id:s\n\n  Dim CPU As String\n  CPU = GetWmiDeviceSingleValue("Win32_Processor", "ProcessorID")\n \n  Dim BIOS As String\n  BIOS = GetWmiDeviceSingleValue("Win32_BIOS", "SerialNumber")

go and ask jeeves he will know or try the manufacturer of said board

It depends on what software interface the driver for the data aquisition card provides. If it is COM based which it probably is, you should be able to interface with VB6. But If you are writing a driver for the PCI card yourself, you cannot do that in VB. You will need to develop that driver in C and compile against the DDK (driver development kit). Also, know that VB6 is no longer supported by Microsoft. You should look into newer technologies such as .NET.

No you cant, Just Contact your System Admin. If you can get that one but your board wont support that one.

The brand of motherboard is irrelevant and there are several ways you can check what graphics card you have installed, one way is to right click on My Computer and go to Manage then click on Device Manager under System Tools.  In Device manager click the "+" next to Display Adapters, your graphics card will be listed there.  That will tell you what your card is but it will not tell you what bus it is using (AGP or PCIe) so to find that out right click on your desktop and go to Properties then go to the Settings Tab and click Advanced then click on the tab that has your graphics card listed on the tab, under Adapter information it will tell you what bus it is using like AGP 8X.  Once you know the bus then you can buy a new card that supports that bus but if you were just looking for the drivers all you need to know is what the card is.  So go to the manufactrurers site and download the latest drivers.\n\nThere's also one last thing I would share if you go to Start > Run and type dxdiag in the box and click OK you will be presented with a wealth of information about your system go to the Display tab for more information about your graphics card.

Manual for the motherboard.\nIf you don't have the manual, check the motherboard model and find the manual online.

The "PC" number you're talking about is the speed of the RAM.  The only way to tell what speed your RAM is, is to shut down and unplug the power from your computer, open the case, remove a stick of RAM, and look at the sticker on the RAM.  Looking at your motherboard manual will only tell you what RAM speed your motherboard can handle, not what kind is currently installed.  By todays standards, PC2100 is kinda obsolete.  Try upgrading to PC3200 or even PC4200, granted your motherboard can handle it.

go to the motherboards manufactures site and download the latest drivers.

Start - Run- DXDIAG\n\nThe bios version is unlikely to be recorded on the motherboard.

you go to your manufactures web site, support. fin dyour particular model computer and the find the bios download in support. download it and the flash program, be very very careful doing this, flashing your bios, if you make a mistake, you will probably damage your motherboard and make it useless. The give you instructions how, but you must follow them precisely

You can go to www.driverguide.com, sign up for free and search for the driver that you need.\n\nAnother way, (if it is built in) is to get your motherboard model and look for the its sites to download the driver that you need.

get the key from serialz.to

This is an older system.  You need to find the actual motherboard manufacturer and model number.  You should then be able to find the information you need about the motherboard.  Are the specific jumpers you are concerned about?  Some of them might be obvious from looking closely.\n\nGood Luck!

there's no way to find out. that's the reason it's safer to buy the software inside the box sealed with a plastic bag so people cant see the serial number.

well where did u get the pc from?\nand does the pc have a Certificate of Authenticity\neg a little label which has a serial number on it??\nu would only get the message if your windows xp serial number is the same as somebody else'es\neg a copy of xp.

Look on the motherboard for a set of jumper pins that reset the BIOS password to null.
