[Rahman]

hi all,

I am looking for some freeware to enable me identify all my hardware details
without openning the case.

I would love the ability that that freeware enable me search the web /google
for the best updated driver
available something like Driver Guide?

even the second option is not availble will work.

Can't help, sorry. But if you want to change an unknown password,
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor is also included on the Ultimate
Boot CD.

There is an editor called Editq which can insert system info into your text
document. It is at http://chuckr.freeshell.org/index.php. It gets system info
both from system calls and from the registry, since neither are consistent. It
gets the driver file name and DLL version number, if possible. It's probably
the best thing you'll find for putting all that info in a text editor file.

Plus it's a great HTML editor!

Here's what it spits out:

If you want more DLLs and their versions to appear, you can customize that too.
