Thanks for the reply Roger,
Since will put this on my web site for general use, I don't want users
to have to install additional software.
I'll try win32com.client.Dispatch('Wbemscripting.Swbemlocator') see what
that does.
As a last resort, I use a registry key as a run status varable. Not my
WMI didn't come installed on Win98. You can download the
addon for win98 from Microsoft.
If I recall correctly from when I last used it on 98, GetObject
didn't work for wmi. You might have to use
win32com.client.Dispatch('Wbemscripting.Swbemlocator')
to create the object.
