Hi,
I'm looking to create a web page where our users can go to so we can gather
information about their PC to help our support staff. I need to get
Processor, Memory and Office Version. I know i can use WMI but when I run it
on the page I get the server info rather than the client pc, i've tried
creating an interface but I get errors "that assembly does not allow
partially trusted callers".

I'm sure it can be done as logmein etc. have something similar I just need a
point in the right direction.

You need to run a program on the end-user's computer. It could either be an
ActiveX control running in the browser or an ordinary program, i.e. nothing
to do with the browser or aspx.
