When I un The compiled script It Shows the MsgBox "Could not Load the script Inside the exe" plz help me out of this

I've seen this before and it is always an EXE that wasn't copied successfully. If it is on your local PC try recompiling.

The code seems quite long and the resulting increase in EXE size does not seem justified in this case.
I think there are some command line utilities to retrieve the serial number, so it's best to use those if there's nothing in the registry to uniquely identify the PC.

Here is the brief research I did:
I searched Google newsgroups here and found this:

Found this basic usefull/info at one of the links provided by Chris.
Just in case someone doesn't know anything about it.

Quote:
The serial number returned by GetVolumeInformation is the number generated each time you format the disk. The serial number that DiskID reports is the internal number stored in the firmware at the factory when the IDE/SCSI drive was manufactured, and should match the sticker on the drive. The firmware serial number can't be changed, the serial number returned by GetVolumeInformation or the DOS vol command will change each time the drive/partition is reformatted.


AHK command to get Drive details: DriveGet
