    hi there,

    got myself a weird problem with hwinfo64 (v4.00-1680 + v4.01-1693).

    everytime i try to start it up, when the status-bar says "enumering buses" >> it crashes with windows giving me the "program stopped working"-error.

    since "sensors only" works perfect without any glitches, i´m kinda confused what might cause this error when i try to start the main program.

    any ideas on this are much appreciated...

    Unfortunately I don't have an answer, but since no one has responded here yet... If you don't get much of a reply here, try reposting your question in This thread. Residualvoltage knows HWInfo64 really well and can probably answer this. I know he looks at that thread a lot, and it deals with that program. Mr. Fox is pretty awesome too, and the thread has other great people who watch and reply as well. :)

    sooo, suggested by mr.fox, i tried to change around some settings in the "configure"-panel of hwinfo64, but so far without any success.

    question is: does any M17xR4 owner even have problems running hwinfo64 out-of-the-box?

    nope i'm running the hwinfo64 as we speak.
    the only notification i get when i started the program is about the compal ec going to affect performance and give me a choice whether i would still use it or disable it.
