In Windows 95/98/ME the processor speed is measured, which will take one second. In Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 the processor speed is read from the Windows Registry and the method will return immediately.       Example 1  - Get Windows version as a text string   Dim S As String S = "The operating system in this computer is " + SysInfo1.WindowsVersion + "!" MsgBox S, vbInformation, "Info"     Example 2 - Get processor speed   Label1 = "Wait..." DoEvents Label1 = "The processor speed is " + CStr(SysInfo1.GetProcessorSpeed()) + " MHz!"     < Go back
