thawee Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi Everyone, I am faily new to autoit, and I am trying to locate or / display the current loaded video driver in my program. I have read the MS Article here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/200435 Which may work most of the time, but I am finding out that in windows 7 (or at least on my system) the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\hardware\DeviceMap\Video (Device\Video0) doesn't point to my currently installed video driver. I have a Nvidia GTX 460 1GB of ram dual display. Does anyone know of a reliable way to find out the currently installed display drivers? Thanks Thawee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thawee Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Is there a good resource to learn about WMI? and how I can use it? Thanks Thawee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Do a search for scriptomatic on this site, it's a good introduction to what you can see with WMI calls. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
