Hello all,

We have been busy rebuilding the D-A-L hardware scan application. This small application runs online and gives you a simple report of all the hardware inside your PC. It's useful for finding out what motherboard, graphics card or sound card you have plus other information.

The new application is in BETA and we would love for you to try the scan yourself and let us know any issues or comments you have.

Here is the link, thank you for helping, we know your time is valuable:

Please Note:

The follwing fields will show on your report:

Registered To: Did not find "os@0:RegisteredUser@0"!
Serial Number: Did not find os@0:SerialNumber@0!

This is perfectly normal as we are not retrieving this information at present.

Regards,

D-A-L

Tested it and it seemed good. Everything was accurate. A question though, it scanned my computer and found my printer drivers. But I'm not connected to any printers. So... is it supposed to do that?

Hey Kaistar, thank you fo ryour feedback. I beleive the scan is reporting any installed printers, so even if they are not connected they are installed on the system.

I personally like the scan. It gives quite detailed information without flooding a person with TOO much information. Two thumbs up DAL!

You need Java.

I have java 1.6.0_07 installed plugin in Firefox. I just got through installing latest java runtime 6 version 11 in my opt folder in root using this sites instructions.

Install Java JRE 1.6.0 (Update x) on Hardy as the Default Java Runtime - By Dung L.T.

Install went fine. Now I just need to figure out how to get it to be a plugin in firefox. To tired to continue tonight though. Will try again later.

Cool. And yes this application requires the latest version of Java. 6_11.

The Linux work is worth it!

Soon roky will be writing his own software!

I am bleary eyed from googling on how to install my new java as a plugin in Firefox. Firefox sees my old java just fine. I enter " about

lugins" in my search bar and java 6 runtime 7 shows up just fine. I go to mozillas update java for advanced users and they show how to update in Windows vista and XP. Nothing about Linux. Go figure. After some sleep maybe I'll figure out where to look next. What is funny is mozilla states the plugin is a dll file and in linux its a

libjavaplugin_oji so file

I can't copy and paste that plugin to firefox folder because firefox will crash if I do. I have to figure out how to make a symbolic link for the plugin from the opts folder over to the firefox plugins folder for it to work properly. Not bad for a GED Biker fella. The adventure continues.
