No and I would hope not, that would be such a breach of security if everyone could see the hardware you are running.

It obviously wouldn't be information that the browser simply sends, it would require an ActiveX or Java control.

I'm sure there is one out there somewhere, but I don't know of one off the top of my head.

As for the replies to look at system properties, he said it's a library computer. If you've ever used a public computer, that's usually not possible. I'd assume he wouldn't be asking if it were that simple ;)

Yeah, this PC is getting a bit long in the tooth :(

I think this year is the year of a brand new build \o/

I've heard mixed reviews about DFI boards but they seem to have excellent upgradability and that's what I tend to look for :)

At least my niece will be happy - her crappy Dell Dimension will be replaced with this old system :D

Which would be a serious security breach (for a Library Computer) to allow installation of ActiveX controls or Java applets that accesses system resources beyond what is contained in the Java Runtime.

I did click "install" when prompted. But it still won't work. :(

I remember doing this on my laptop once, and I think it asked for permission to install an ActiveX control, something i don't think i can do on those library comps....

I get this message even on IE

Internet Explorer 6 required

Windows XP Game Advisor requires the use of the Windows 98/ME/2000/XP operating system and the Internet Explorer 6 browser.
