Thanks for the reply Roger,
Since will put this on my web site for general use, I don't want users to have to install additional software.
I'll try win32com.client.Dispatch('Wbemscripting.Swbemlocator') see what that does.
As a last resort, I use a registry key as a run status varable. Not my first choice, but I think it will work for all win9x systems.

WMI didn't come installed on Win98. You can download the addon for win98 from Microsoft. If I recall correctly from when I last used it on 98, GetObject didn't work for wmi. You might have to use win32com.client.Dispatch('Wbemscripting.Swbemlocator') to create the object.
