Ahhhh, probably a better interpretation of the question being asked.

If so, search for GetVersion or GetVersionEx and VB, e.g:

Aren't there "issues" with the so-called Compatability Mode settings?

Man... I feel sorry for "newbies"... when MS provides code that's pure junk,
it's no wonder people pick up bad habits.

'============
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim msg As String ' Status information.
Dim nl As String ' New-line.
nl = Chr$(13) + Chr$(10) ' New-line.

ummm... someone may want to let MS know there's a constant named
vbCrLf...

Show

ummm... someone may want to let MS know Show isn't required...

MousePointer = 11 ' Hourglass.

ummm... someone may want to let MS know there's a constant named
vbHourglass...

#If Win32 Then

that article was last reviewed in 2004... shouldn't it be "#If Win64" by
that time?

I cringe thinking of how anything written past Win2k's release, looks "under
the hood"... No wonder Vista/dotNet are so bloated.
