0	Try this to check Installed program or driver name by reading registry String regstryKey = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"; using(Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey keyName = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(regstryKey )) { foreach(string subKey in keyName.GetSubKeyNames()) { using(RegistryKey subKey1 = keyName.OpenSubKey(subkey)) { Response.Write(subKey1.GetValue("DisplayName")); } } } Gaurav Agrawal http://www.planetofcoders.com/ Naraayanan, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
