The Win32_SystemConfigurationChangeEvent is an event class which indicates that the device list on the system has been refreshed.  Refreshed meaning: a device has been added, removed, or the configuration changed.  This event is fired when the windows message 'DevMgrRefreshOn' is sent. The exact change to the device list is not contained in the message and therefore a device refresh is required in order to obtain the current system	settings. Examples of configuration changes affected are IRQ settings, COM ports and BIOS version, to name a few.
