Then someone with detailed knowledge could compare the two?What would be the purpose? The code is going to look like this -- an impenetrable maze of "switch" and "if" statements based on individual bits or features or models. *Somewhere* in Window's versionof that code, there's a path which is triggered by As of this moment all of this is just an assumption - you might very well be right, but it could also be something totally different. What if the CPUID is nearly identical? This would lead to the conclusion that the problem has completely different root causes.
