Sorry, but this is not possible. That is a MAJOR security issue. There is no way to do that in Javascript.

Sorry :rolleyes:

the only way you can do this is if the client downloaded a program and installed it and then went back to the website and then ran another program that would talk to the program previously installed. doesn't make since does it.

goto http://updates.cnet.com/ as they did a hardware scan. not sure if they do it anymore. but they do do a software scan that is basically the same thing.

Also, the user would have to trust you enough to download the program.
