Ok Ive had enough.
I spent 3 hours downloading, configuring and nmakeing QT then I have spent the next 5 hours trying to get the WINAPI code working. I havent. So I give up. I dont like using VS Express 2008 anyway. Its too big, cumbersome, and it feels like the Qt integration has been bodged.

Back to QDevelop and no interesting CPU information. Hopefully Qt will add it in the future.

Cheers,
Phil
