Agreed. Basically the answer was fairly well hidden in history.txt file supplied with the HWiNFO32 or online on this page - HWiNFO32 became freeware in v2.10 (July-22-2008). HWiNFO32 is now on version v3.58. As per earlier reply HWiNFO (DOS) only became freeware in June this year.

> This doesn't seem to be the BUGzilla.
LOL! Martin seems fine for HWiNFO/HWiNFO32 bug reports to be submitted either via email or the forum (it would appear the preferred option): http://www.hwinfo.com/forum/
I submitted 2 minor issues via the forum yesterday which have already been acknowledged. Also worth noting that a HWiNFO32 SDK exists as a way to support Martin's good work.

Does anyone know if a DOS HWiNFO SDK ever existed? I may ask on his forum.


> Does the mouse work for you ?
To be honest I haven't yet tried but having read various docs I am sure it should be working ok, so might be worth filing a quick bug report to Martin on his forum. I want to be in a better position to do quick tests of things like this, unfortunately I'm not in that position at the moment :( As John Lennon put it:
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans
