Hello we are using parallels to run some applications on XP-Home SP2 and have some problem reguarding one specific software that requires to read the CPU-ID. The software is using Dot.Net 2.0 and in special the calls: ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass("Win32_Processor"); ManagementObjectCollection moc = mc.GetInstances(); mo.Properties["ProcessorId"].Value.ToString(); to retrive the cpu-id, but the call always returns an empty string. We know that the underlying hardware is just emulated but would like to know if its possible to tell paralells to pass the cpu-id from the host-system to the guest system? thanks in advance Walter
