    When I first set it up, it showed my GPU temp in the upper left hand corner while I was gaming. After I made BF2 run as administrator, rivatuner did not shower my GPU temp when i'm in game. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Same problem happened to me...

    While you have your graph open, go to...

    setup>select core temperature>then under the on-screen display settings, the box should be checked>then press on run server then press ok

    tell me how it goes.

    if you are using 64-bit, it will not work.

    yes.... i must have missed the part that said i have to run server everytime i boot up =T

    but now that i have this thread started.... does rivatuner startup automatically for anyone? vista blocks it because it needs my permission, but i dont' want to change my security settings either
