Added : Detects for DirectX, dotNET4, M/B & BIOS, default S/Card

@AW27: Memory bug -> crazy pointers (my fault entirely)
Are you pondering what I'm pondering? It's time to take over the world ! - let's use ASSEMBLY...

Almost all bugs fixed.
However:
1) It does not detect more than 1 monitor. I have 2,  some people more. (* see below)
2) Model is wrong, what it is showing is Extended Model.
3) I have no explanation for the font style changing to bold or for font color change. I have not checked in the help file.  :biggrin:
4) Static boxes are small to contain the information, I believe you should use read-only Edit boxes allowing the user to read till the end, or show it in a tool tip when it does not fit in the static box.
5) It should save all the information to a file.

* This is the monitor information provided by my software AWRCP about my 2 28" monitors:

@AW:
0) "Almost all bugs fixed " -  :bgrin: - I take it the data corruption is now solved - again thanks for your input
1) I'am not quite sure I understand your meaning - the detections are for the default display adapter attached to the desktop.
    (sample code on page 4 of this thread)
2) But I do see your point, I'll add this in the next version update
3) Can you clarify ? - or PM/email me a screenshot please

Very GOOD ideas - I should really brush-up on my interface design.
I'll definitely add & modify for these in the next version update.  :t

Hi Raistlin,

My computer has 2 sound cards on board and 1 virtual sound card.
In total 11 Stereo output channels.

As default sound card it shows the 7th stereo output channel of my default soundcard. ( should be the first )
hint: the first guid returned is the default and is equal to 1 of the following enumerated guids.

The rest seems correct.  8)
Creative coders use backward thinking techniques as a strategy.

Raistlin

Thanks Siekmanski - it was'nt clear on MSDN (see below). Your explanation makes more sense  :biggrin:

RE:
The primary device is enumerated twice, first with NULL in lpGuid and then with its GUID in that parameter.
So I mistakenly thought the GUID on first return was NULL and then the first actual GUID was the default.

Lemme switch over to Windows 10 - I'm on Windows 7 right now without the proper drivers installed.... (can't get new drivers for an older OS for this 'puter)

Raistlin

Why zedd151, what's it showing?
You've got my email\PM.  :icon_eek:

Nothing bad, just it's missing the Display info.. I'm still on 7 now if you want to see it...

This is from Windows 7 Ultimate:

Raistlin

Wow, you had me worried. No problems then  :icon_mrgreen:

Oh no, it's all good.  :t

I put the screen capture in my previous post...
As soon as I'm finished defragging my storage drive, I'll do another from Windows 10 Home Edition....

From Windows xp sp3 Professional in Virtual Box --- 32 bits


Surprisingly a lot of the info still holds true from Virtual Box, but not all. Being in a virtual environment does strip away some functionality.


This is a test, only a test.   :P



Raistlin

@Zedd: Yes a VM will do that - I tested the profiler under under HyperV with
             Linux OpenSuse Leap & WINE = It works !  :bgrin: Even shows WINE
             .NET support, however still need to get DirectX to work for Linux.

             As to the screenshot you posted:
             1) SVM switch is toggled (VM mode - so no problems there)
             2) Interestingly FMA3 switch is now off (probably the VM hypervisor ? - I'll investigate)
             3) HTT switch is off // (VM mode - you assigned 1 core to the VM & cache also reflects such - so all good)
             4) RAM size is understandable - you assigned 1 GB of the 4GB actual - display card is probably utilizing partial RAM
             5) Display card is not showing - what Display adapter is showing inside the XP's device manager ? - I'am interested to know please
             6) x64 mode now disabled in CPUID - did you specifically select x86 compatable VM ? - I'am interested to know please
             7) Registry error showing on internal error flags - probably due to .NET detection - so all fine there as well.
                                                             
             But yes, the VM environment loads it's own hardware kernel
             emulation that strips the standard functionalities. More updates
             coming soon.
