title: Win32 code to get EDID in Windows XP/7
body: <p>I found <a href="http://www.winvistatips.com/read-monitors-edid-information-t181727.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> page and was unable to get any useful information out of it (it searches the registry for something but never finds it and goes into an infinite loop).</p>
  
  <p>As <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5040686/edid-information">this question regarding getting the monitor serial UID ("EDID information")</a> asks I would like the same information but from the point of view of Win32 C code (or C/C++ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_development_kit" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DDK</a> code, or whatever) instead of Linux.</p>
