Hi, I'm a newbie to programming of any kind. I have posted this to other
groups in a hope to get a response from anyone.
Can any one tell me how to make my VB program read the Bios serial number
(or would HDD be better, or both?) and put that info into VB prog so the
program won't work on another computer. My program uses an MSAccess table.
Much appreciated if you can help!
Thanks

There was this guy in alt.es.hackers asking if there is a way to crack bios
password bys software. I of course know you can always resort to the
"almigthy" jumper and reset the CMOS. So the question in this case is: Do
you know of a good place to read about a way to access the BIOS using C/C++
or a way to access the CMOS.
If i remember a part of the BIOS is copied in the 640K-1MB area of the RAM,
but what about the CMOS data ?

Hi
Is there a possibility to read/write BIOS values?
I develop an application that should start running at 6 a.m. every day,
so I need to make sure that the computer will start at that time. So I
thought that setting this value each time the app starts will reduce
the possibility that someone changed this value (I am not allowed to
password-protect the BIOS, so anyone will be able to modify this
value).
Windows modifies the BIOS when...

I looked up my system information and discovered that my BIOS is dated back to 4/25/2003 version 4.
I looked up the website for where my computer is manufactured and found that there is a now a version 10.
I am well aware that updating your BIOS can cause major problems if it is not done correctly.
So my question is do I need to update my BIOS to version 10? Would it be best?
If I do, can I jump from version 4 straight to version...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
