Solve : Viewing and Sending System Info With VB6?

Answer»

Hi all,

I need to know if anybody knows how to send system information by email with Visual Basic 6, such as windows version, version make, etc... The reason I need such weird code is that, my aunt that lives in Germany wants me to help her to find what windows version she is running, she dosent know how to copy and paste, much less bring up her system information, and she speaks broken ENGLISH so she dosent understand when I TELL her 'Open Control Panel.' I figure, if I COULD send her a program that sends me the information, I won't have to talk her through it over the phone for an hour. I can program VB6 at an intermediate LEVEL, but I can't understand how you would send information through email

Thanks

But I presume she can read?

Just tell her to right-click on My Computer and select Properties and read what is says under System.

Another good free program she can download is System Information for Windows but if she doesn't know how to download anything then you're a bit stick.
