    I will let you know if I decide to do anything with it (as I am happy with my PID checker implementation now) and will give proper credit of course, as I do not like to just copy and paste code.

    Thanks again though. :)

    ...and now I am off to get back to work on my other projects. :eek:

    (OP)

    I took a quick look at your code. Looks pretty good...
    If you put the radio buttons in a group box then you dont have to write any code to check...uncheck...etc.
    The output text box would looks better if word wrap was off or the text box was elongated so things did not have to spill onto the next line...and it should be read-only so the user cannot delete what is in it on accident :p

    Overall, looks pretty good though... :)

    EDIT: also, in BackgroudnWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted the 'Me.Cursor = Cursors.Arrow' should be 'Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default' because some people do not have their default cursor set to arrow...
    I was also wondering that 'Dim filedata As New FileInfo(Application.ExecutablePath)' in BackgroundWorker1_DoWork was for, as I never see you use 'filedata'.

    i used filedata to get the app path

    Code:
    
            Dim appPath As String = String.Empty
            Dim filedata As New FileInfo(Application.ExecutablePath)
            appPath = filedata.DirectoryName
    
    
    ill change the cursor thing also

    Version 1.1.0 released and posted in the OP... :)
    Added some more user "friendlyness" and removed an annoying bug.

    Enjoy this new version...I put some extra work into it and I think I will be satisfied with it for a little while (until I feel like implementing some more features that I have on my list (I am pretty busy)), so barring any bugs or anything like that, this should be the latest version for a little while. :)

    Thanks everyone. :D

    No problem...

    I wont hold it against you :p


    BTW, I like how your key/cert branding app installs the key/cert without using slmgr.vbs... I have incorporated a similar method into O7A for the next release that bypasses slmgr, so it has a fail-safe in case slmgr is missing or corrupt and can still install the key/cert. Good idea. :)
