    Is anyone else having a problem when they try to run the Core Temp monitor program for an extended period on their laptop with VISTA OS (not XP)? I have upgraded to a few different releases and it always seems to crash on me after 15 minutes or so.

    HWMonitor works fine but to my knowledge it can't be minimized to display down to the status bar like Core Temp, so that is why I wish I could get Core Temp to work. Apparently it is an issue with certain MB chip combinations.
