Well. I don't have a key in my registry called "~MHz" or anything similar.

You must be running Windows 95 then. This registry entry doesn't exist on that OS.

At least there is one mistake in your code(but it won't work if you fix it).
You store the information from the registry in a variable called "processor_speed$", but then you print a variable
called "processor_speed"(which is usually 0).

Actually, that's one of the odd things about DBPro. Because he's specifically defined 'processor_speed$' as a DWORD, it is a DWORD despite the $ at the end of the name.

This code compiles and runs, correctly displaying 12345.

Yes, I thought it was the $ at the end that was causing the problem, but unfortunately it wasn't (and I've got XP).
