    I tried to get NHC on my Sager NP9262, but it keeps getting an error. I think it is because I have a 64-bit operating system but not sure.

    ERROR!-> Could not load the NHC driver!

    I think it is trying to load a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit system. Any help would be appreciated. I want to disable any power saving settings when my device is plugged in.

    NHC doesn't support 64-bit OSes. Their driver probably doesn't have any digital signature. You might wanna try an alternate program.

    RMclock might be what you are looking for.

    Same problem. They both use unsigned drivers. I have Windows 7 and need to bypass the signed drivers restriction. ANybody have an Idea.

    CPUGenie does seem promising. Thanks for the info. I wonder if anyone has run it on a Sager NP9262. If it can cut down on power consumption, that would be great when on battery power.

    RMclock has a 64bit signed driver. I guess it should work in win7 too.
    Here's a guide to undervolting with RMclock, and the signed driver is attached to the first post (at the bottom of the first post). You just replace it.

    Well, I dont want to underclock. I want to make sure the voltages stay the same when on AC power.

    I use RMclock to lower voltages while keeping same clocks.
    I have same voltages on ac power or battery controlled by it. Underclock is just an option of rmclock, you don't have to do it.
