progress but it still doesnt work mate, I give up Fiery AIDA64 is not going to work on it, Alphacool are a bunch of useless twats that couldn't organise a piss up in a free bar........ they dont give a f*ck about it and are happy to keep selling it, its fine lesson learnt never buy another Alphacool product, I have been banned from there forum for telling them a few home truth's. But that just pissed me off even more up come the proxy server 130 posts later their forum was trashed, they keep banning my email addys, I keep creating new ones creating a new account and destroying there forum, payback any bad publicity is good publicity for me!!!!!! the battle goes on, the LCD is on flea bay, piece of shit. All because they want to keep there front, well they f*cked with the wrong guy this time. They have been speiling the same old crap for over 2 years, we are making some plugins for it but thes things take time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we dont have the original source code for it blah blah blah.... Im starting to put 2 and 2 together and coming up with 4.................... Sonic the guy mentioned way back in early posts who was responsible for writting the source code for the AC LCD, and the acEverest.dll file for the plugin, heres my thinking now i see what alphacool are like, they fucked him about didnt give him his royalties from things he wrote done for alphacool , he must of got to a point said no prob, f*ck you alphacool I'll take my source code, all SDK and uncompressed images for the LCD unit and done one taking all the original source code for the unit and all master copies. As mentioned by another poster earlier, we are at 1.1.4 and version 1.1.5 was about to be released and then this guy Sonic just disappeared off the face of the earth, not seen since....... my theory.

Ok I have found what your refering to and its a configuration file, if I right click on it and look at its properties it is an ini file, so I changed the HWMonSharedMemName=AIDA64_SensorValues to HWMonSharedMemName=EVEREST_SensorValues It doesn't work Fiery unfortunately mate ive got what you are refering to bang on I'm sure, it the only thing it can be, and another look at LCDhype tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see me putting my fist through it soon.............................................................

Hi Fiery thank you for your response, I hope you visited the link i posted within my original post to Alphacool and see that I only had nice things to say about your efforts to try and make a fix for Alphacool's incompetences. I have tried and followed your instructions to a T, I will have another go at it at some point this week, but I really have followed the instructions to a T and are not getting anywhere, can you tell me then , can i just skip the 2.8 beta listed and still apply the same instructions to version 3.0? Have you included the same instruction set for this fix in version 3.0? or is it only beta 2.8 version listed in the instruction that this fix will work on, By the way my computer User Account settings are switched off, which means I run at Administrator rights permanently. but have also tried right click run as administrator on installation just to eliminate it from this process as an issue . Just to clarify something you said "If there's no AIDA64.INI file in the AIDA64 installation folder" this folder is in FinalWire/AIDA64 folder in C: drive ie click computer, click C: drive click Programs x86, click Finalwire, click AIDA64 <<< in there? Any further assistance you can continue to give in helping me get AIDA64 up on this display will be much appreciated. As 5 days later I still haven't even had a response on Alphacools forum, some support that is. I won't be buying any Alpha cool products again!!! kind regards Mike

Hi so i find myself joining the growing list of frustrated Alphacool LCD users, and dont worry AIDA they have been given a stern and fair account of my experience of there equipment within their forum this morning. http://forum.alphacool.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3452&sid=af7c56ac249a487d1c7cb20f83629c32 After 3 days of trying to get my head around LCDhype and although being very savy when it comes to rigs, overclocking, and generally all things computer related, I am not a coder and have found it difficult and frustrating, I cannot believe the lack of support for this LCD. So having spent the best part of my day fidderling with your fix, I cannot for the life of me find the AIDA64.INI file you speak of, I have followed your instructions to a tee, installed the 2.8 beta you have listed tried that tried version 3.0 still no joy. So I did a windows search for the AIDA64.INI file, still no direct joy, but lists 4 files of which ive ploughed through, found HWMonSharedMemName=AIDA64_SensorValues in all 4 files, edited in notepad, changed them all to EVEREST instead on AIDA64, tried again to see if the LCD can see, no, tried changing the other HWMonSharedWMIProvName=EVEREST_Sensorvalues aswell still nothing. Tried changing everything AIDA64 to Everest all thats done is f*ck all the icons up on AIDA64 i'm suprised it still boots!!!!!!!!!!! cannot even run Aida64 and Everest, as it doesnt list loads of shit you want for i7 platforms, ie voltages, multipliers, GPU's nothing and then theres the resource hogging and conflicts of 2 progs doing the same thing!!!! I'm losing my patience............ Mike-London
