Hi David,

Thanks For writing in.

The exception Message says "Invalid Namespace"

The exception is of System.Management Type.

And to my dismay,the same code is working fine in WIndows Xp And not in Windows server 2000 (based on NT)

And the other values like My.Computer.Info.OSPlatform is working fine with windows 2000 .

I cann't understand where i'm wrong
