Does anyone know how to access BIOS functions through VB ?

Well, I'm pretty sure (not 100%) that straight VB can't do it. There may be some sort of control or something to can buy to do it, though.

It's quite easy to do this in C++, so I bet you can get a dll that was written in C++, and just refrence that from VB. I'd direct you to a site, but I can't remember the one that I am thinking of...

Changing the BIOS is a topic which verges on the edge of potential hacking. If misused, it would be a very devastating function. Use your knowledge wisely. We dont want to inadvertantly let out info like this.
