    I just received my 8660, and i'm trying to run hwmonitor. however, every time i start it i immediately get a "hwmonitor has stopped working" message from vista (vista home premium 64) i've tried the 64 bit and the 32bit version.

    can anyone help me?

    thanks

    you must run the program as Administrator (by right clicking on the program) and maybe need to disable UAC (User Account Control)

    In Vista Home Premium x64, you do not need to run this program as an administrator. But you do need to allow the UAC to run the program. If I were you, I would take a screen capture of your issue and send it to their support: [email protected].

    That`s because the 7950GTX temp sensor is not supported .My older RU did not have a GPU notice in HWMonitor, but Riva Tuner worked perfectly.
    The 8th series are , however.

    Really.
    That explains everything, I wonder why?
    Will it work in any RAID configuration?

    I just received mine and I had exactly the same problem as you.
    I'm now using a previous version that works. Version 1.08, if I'm not wrong.
    See if you can get hold of previous version and that might fix your problem.

    ps: nothing to do with administrator or this pain in the bottom protection thing from Vista.

    Well... HWMonitor Pro works and gives you the exact same thing...
    I also use Rivatuner to follow GPU temperatures and clocks (efficient as it allows to monitor for possible downclocking in case of GPU overheating... Which is something that doesn't exist in this laptop).

    I noticed this at first, but then realised that it was conflicting with PCWizard08. If I start HWmonitor first, it's fine. (1.08 didn't have this bug though, I could start that version anytime...)
