    is it me or does the RM clock utility not work on vista 64? because i have vista ultimate and i tried to undervolt using eleron's guide and i can't seem to get rm clock to work....it comes up with an error message saying:

    ' cannot install or load RTCore64 driver. Make sure you're loading this application from not a read-only medium and/or a network drive, and that you're logged on with Admin rights. '

    I am admin and the application is being loaded from the data stored in this laptop!!! help??

    thanks

    You have to get the signed 64-bit driver. I'm not sure where I found it, but somebody has the download link here.

    I use RM Clock with vista64.

    Try rebooting, hitting F8 and selecting 'disable driver integrity checking'. Also, if that doesn't work, find the rm clock exe file, right click on it, and go to 'run as admin' and see if that works.

    I tried it using x64 also, and couldn't get it to work. I used the signed 64-bit driver, and so RMclock loaded up and ran fine. I followed the guide precisely, and made all of the profile modifictions to my multiplier voltages, and all seemed fine...

    But RMclock itself was reporting higher VIDs than what was set in the profile. No manner of fiddling resolved it, so I gave up...

    Did you select mobile CPU on the advanced settings page? The auto detect sometimes gets it wrong.

    Yep, did that.

    It took all of the settings just fine, it's just that it's own reporting showed the voltages running higher than what I'd set.

    hmm...well iv just come across another problem...rmclock is detecting my core to be 1.66GHz...wen i had an older version on rmclock it said it was 2.49Ghz which was correct becuase i have a sager 5793 with dual 2.5, 4gb ram, 8800gtx etc.....im confused??

    the previous version worked but didnt have the advanced settings required for the undervolting.

    It's just stepping. If you run Orthos and watch the clock, it'll jump up to 2.49 real fast. When it's idling, it steps down.
