Hi,
The following code works fine for me. A couple of things to keep in
mind. First wmi is not installed by default on windows 95, 98, and nt 4.0.
Second win32_operating system only works with windows xp, 2000, 2003, and nt
4.

Thank you for your quick response.
I'm using WinXp Pro with SP1,
I deleted the System.Manageme nt reference and added it again, but your code
causes the same error for me, as mine. An interesting thing, that I can't
catch this exception with 'Catch E As Exception'.

Hi,
Go to add remove programs in the control panel. Click on
add/remove windows components. Make sure management and monitoring tools is
checked that is the wmi.
Finally Catch e as exception will only catch non fatal errors. Use
to catch e as system.exceptio n to catch all exceptions.

You were right, the management and monitoring tools were not installed at my
PC, I installed it (in details WMI SNMP Provider also checked), made reboot
and tried again. Unfortunately the same error occured.
I tried catch it with 'Catch e As Ssystem.Excepti on', but it didn't help.
Do You know another way to get the same informations about the PC?
