This makes no sense. If the members of Win32_Processor are not valid, why would you then state that they should contain the data you're looking for?

Maybe I understood wrong what MSDN says. I just read: "To determine the total number of processor instances associated with a computer system object, use the Win32_ComputerSystemProcessor association class."

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I compiled the code with VC6 on my single core P4 with HT enabled (Win XP). I also run the program on a dual core Pentium D with HT enabled (also Win XP). In both cases NumberOfCores was not found and NumberOfLogicalProcessors was 0. I guess that the code works, as I can retrieve other members like, e.g., Name correctly. However, I can post the code if you like.

Well, this brings me right back to my initial question: Is there any chance to get the processor specs on non-Vista systems?

Yes, I've done it with both Win32_ComputerSystem and Win32_Processor.

Now I'm getting confused Wink | ;)

I just tried Win32_ComputerSystem. For example, I can get NumberOfProcessors correctly. But I can't get NumberOfLogicalProcessors, it's not in the query result. But this is alright according to MSDN which says about NumberOfLogicalProcessors:

Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows Me/98/95: This property is not available.

Then I tried Win32_Processor. For example, I can get Name correctly. But I get neither NumberOfLogicalProcessors nor NumberOfCores, they're both not in the query result. But again this is alright, because MSDN states for both properties what I already cited above.

Or did I get something completely wrong?

Thank you for your patience, David!

Marcus.

::GetSystemInfo (which is available all the way back to Win95) will get you the number of processors. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/getsysteminfo.asp[^]

I don't know how it would interpret a hyper-threaded machine. For that you might try the cpuid instruction, which is available as a compiler intrinsic as __cpuid (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hskdteyh.aspx[^])

Hi Mike,

thanks for your answer. Currently I'm using the code from the article Counting Physical and Logical Processors here on CP. It makes also use of the functions you mentioned. I split up the code on did some tests on the following 2 PCs (I was wrong before: Pentium D has no HT):

1) Pentium 4, 3.06GHz, Single core, HT
2) Pentium D 950, 3.40GHz, Dual core, No HT

I'd like to calculate the following values:

1) # CPUs: 1, #Cores: 1, #Log. CPUs per Core: 2
2) # CPUs: 1, #Cores: 2, #Log. CPUs per Core: 1

Now the problem: The functions you mentioned return the following values for both(!) CPUs:

GetSystemInfo.dwNumberOfProcessors: 2
cpuid HTT bit: Set
cpuid # logical CPUs per physical CPU: 2

This shows that it's not possible to distinguish between HT and dual core Cry | :((

Hi,
I studied in my project tutorial that each OPC server is identified by a unique clsid.To get this clsid,run GUIDGen.exe and get the clsid.
I do the same...i got different type of clsid.
As iam new to coding..I dont know..
why they use clsid in the coding?
Whats the use of this clsid?
What is GUID?
Is there any tutorial to study about this?
Help me

A CLSID is a globally unique identifier that identifies a COM class object. If your server or container allows linking to its embedded objects, you need to register a CLSID for each supported class of objects.

See More From MSDN[^]

There are some articles for a beginner in COM at CP itself

See Micheal Dunn's article Introduction to COM[^]
He has also written some other articles regarding COM and WTL.

I'm trying to write a little test app to communicate with a smart card (using a GempPC Twin reader). program runs successfully until SCardTransmit function (SCardEstablishContext, SCardListReaders and SCardConnect functions return SCARD_S_SUCCESS and my card handle is 0xEA010000). this function returns 14 and does not execute.
this value is not in the "Smart Card Return Values" list in the msdn and therefor i do not have any idea for solve this problem. plealse helpe me.

I use a SCARD_IO_REQUEST structure, this way has been working fine for many year ...

SCARD_IO_REQUEST        pio;

if(enScProt_T0 == m_ActiveProtocol)
{   pio.dwProtocol = SCARD_PROTOCOL_T0; }
else if(enScProt_T1 == m_ActiveProtocol)
{   pio.dwProtocol = SCARD_PROTOCOL_T1; }

pio.cbPciLength = sizeof(SCARD_IO_REQUEST);

m_lErrCode = SCardTransmit(m_hScConnect, &pio, pBufTx, LenTx, &pio, pBufRx, &LenRx);
if(SCARD_S_SUCCESS != m_lErrCode) {
    CString sT;
    sT.Format("Error SCardTransmit (0x%08X). ", m_lErrCode);

LOGFONT.lfFaceName is declared as TCHAR. TCHAR will work according to your application that is, i think you don't have _UNICODE defined in your application.
If so TCHAR will act as char, wcscpy will expecting WCHAR but you passing char. normal strcpy(..) or _tcscpy(..)
Try this... hope it'll work...
