    I don't think VB is capable of the low-level operations necessary to make it work.

    There should be APIs to do that, but I don't know which ones...

    Well, you can make a DLL in C/C++/MFC that you can use in VB6 (this is what API is), and in that DLL you can write inline ASM...

    By the way, if you don't know what API is, here is a Wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applica...ming_interface

    You should also google it, and see examples using API.

    Here is an Add-in for VB6 to help you find API functions: API Add-In for Visual Basic

    And here is an app I made where I made a DLL using MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class Library) as an example for you to make your own API functions: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?p=4056087
