    I've been using RmClock to undervolt my Dell Inspiron E1505 for awhile under Windows XP and its been great. But recently I went from XP to Windows 7 32bit, it stopped working. It'll just run the default voltages. I've tried running it under administrator and Windows XP compatibility mode but still doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make it work under Windows 7 32bit?

    Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

    try to uncheck the Management > Enable OS Power management in RMclock,
    then in windows 7 use Balanced power plan

    hmm i see

    In the Windows Power profiles, there should be a profile called RMclock Power Management, it should be under Additional Plans.

    Try selecting that.

    Hi, another question relating to this. I noticed every time I restart or boot up my computer, I always have to go to the Power Options and put it in RMClock Management. Is there a way to make it so it automatically chooses that Power Management option, because it a bit of a hassle to do it every time I restart.

    Thanks

    So, I close RMClock and then choose the RmClock Power Management?

    If that's the case, the RmClock Power profile only shows when running RmClock program, so it'll just go back to balanced power everything I start up.
