Karen,

Assuming that you know how to read registry entries, read the value of the following key...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CSDVersion

That should hold a value of "Service Pack x" (x being the release number.)

Hope this helps,

John.
By the way, there should be a space between the Windows and NT in the key name.

John.

Great Madshi, how about Internet Explorer and Netscape

Good luck Madshi...
AFAIK, there's no API for that. Both IE and NetScape are simple applications (though IE is quite integrated to the system). You can even have IE3, IE4, IE5, NS2, NS3, NS4 installed at the same time!
Thanks
