And get that weasel a good lawyer. At least it appears you have a hardware id. R2 |

| 218527 | 2004-02-28 02:16:00 | Ahem. Back to topic. Some Compaq computers have a hardware ID. This will be displayed by the BIOS setup. (Often entered with F10 when the white rectangle appears in the top RH side of the screen at boot time). |

| 218528 | 2004-02-28 05:35:00 | Thanks PoWa for your good answer. A program I was trying to register required some "HWID code" to make it run. I was getting worried about that, then discovered that the program in question automatically generates that number anyway to identify and lock the software to that particular machine. |
