Valid points are listed there. We do have plans about a revamped Alerting module where we'll make the changes you requested. As for the controls in the Preferences window, they only follow the width change of the Preferences window if it makes sense to widen the control further than its default size. When there's no benefit from making the controls wider, they keep their size intact. Due to long lists in the Preferences, height for most listviews are automatically adjusted to benefit from the height increase of the Preferences window.

The Auto Start page in AIDA64 shows the applications (processes) started at Windows bootup, so it shows the list that you can see on the Logon tab of the Autoruns application. The Explorer tab of Autoruns shows context menu handlers -- those are not auto-started applications, hence they have no place on the Auto Start page of AIDA64. The Internet Explorer tab of Autoruns shows the browser extensions for IE -- those are not auto-started applications either, so they cannot be listed on the Auto Start page of AIDA64. As for application details like Company Name, you can double-click on any item of the Auto Start page to open the standard Windows file properties window.

Currently double-click URLs only work if you have the SensorPanel position locked (in main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / SensorPanel). Regards, Fiery

You need to purchase a single AIDA64 Extreme Engineer license from ABSEIRA: https://www.abseira.com/webcart/add?product=aida64_ee You could use that AIDA64 edition from portable media (USB flash drives) without the need to install it on the actual computer. In case you need to compile a network audit of your clients' computers, then you will need a special license of AIDA64 Business Edition. In that case make sure to contact ABSEIRA for a price quote. Regards, Fiery

It's not possible with AIDA64. But, you can take the resulting HTML/MHTML files, and modify them by adding an image. Of course embedding the image into the MHTML file would be a bit difficult, but if your computers have internet connection then you can upload the files to a web server (or an image hosting service) and add just the IMG tags to the HTML/MHTML files. If you do so, no image file embedding would be necessary. Regards, Fiery

UpTime Statistics is based on Event Log entries, more specifically the System log. If you have the System log erased or you have no rights to read the System log, then AIDA64 will be unable to display UpTime Statistics. Regards, Fiery

Updating the Power Manager application will not help in this case, but it's of course good to have the latest version installed. Please stay with the latest AIDA64 beta. We're already working on a special method for AIDA64 ThinkPad EC module to eliminate the direct EC calls, and so eliminate the collisions with the ThinkPad Power Manager application. Please give us a couple of days to finish up and properly test the new AIDA64. As for the temperature and fan speed spikes, they are all due to collisions between AIDA64 and the ThinkPad Power Manager application. Just ignore any unusually high or low values. Thanks, Fiery

Thank you for the test. 144 Celsius is an incorrect value that is read only because AIDA64 EC register readout collides with the ThinkPad Power Manager application or some other application that also accesses the EC simultaneously with AIDA64. At 144 Celsius your CPU would fry and would never work again We'll work more on the EC access method, we'll try to synchronize it with Lenovo's own software to avoid collisions. But, if you can somehow temporarily close or disable those Lenovo power management software, you could see the warnings and errors become the rate I've mentioned above (1 per hour). CPU2 means the 2nd logical processor, which in your case is the 2nd core of your CPU.

We've implemented Used Memory, Free Memory, Used Swap Space, Free Swap Space sensor icons, all in GigaBytes. Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1917z8kpq0xdhvzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery

We've implemented the Swap Space Utilization hardware monitoring item to let you diagnose your systems more easily. Implementing paging file information as a hardware monitoring item would be quite difficult, since you can have one or a lot of paging files. As for the virtual memory information, we'll wait for more users requests, since at this time we're not convinced it is a meaningful readout that people wanna monitor. Most people are confused about virtual memory readouts, and we prefer not to overcrowd the hardware monitoring items with confusing bits Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.co...17z8kpq0xdhvzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

We've fine-tuned the Embedded Controller register readout in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.co...17z8kpq0xdhvzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. There's a chance you'd still get occasional warnings in the Event Log, but it should be much less frequent than before, typically one per hour or even more rare. Everyone else reading this: please note that this issue only affects Windows XP systems. ThinkPads with Windows Vista or Windows 7 are not affected by this issue at all, fortunately.

We've implemented the new Multimedia / SAPI page in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1917z8kpq0xdhvzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery

We've implemented the requested new hardware monitoring items. Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1917z8kpq0xdhvzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

[ just to clarify ] The GTX680 RSoD issue has already been fixed in the latest beta release of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.co...13tqrs2v6chnzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Regards, Fiery

It looks like a very useful tool indeed. However, with AIDA64 we focus on reporting 100% accurate system details, and measure system performance using state-of-the-art benchmark methods. We currently do not have the resources to make AIDA64 a tweaking tool. However, in case you have an idea about how to improve the Auto Start programs reporting capabilities of AIDA64, post it into this topic Regards, Fiery

Thank you for the tests. I assume you are using AIDA64 v2.30?

I'll drop a message into this topic once an enhanced ThinkPad EC handling in AIDA64 is available. I'm afraid I can't provide you with a timeframe at this time, since it will heavily depend on the time it takes us to get a fitting ThinkPad, and then the time it takes to configure it and reproduce the issue. And then more time until we can come up with some sort of solution We'll do our best though. Until then, you shouldn't worry too much about the EC collision. As long as your computer runs stable, such Windows Event Log warnings are just warnings

We definitely need to diagnose this issue to possibly come up with an indirect EC access method that Windows doesn't treat unsafe. Please let me know what ThinkPad model do you have, so we could get a similar one for test runs.

1) Does the Computer / Sensor page display correctly? 2) Do you have similar lockups if you try push the New button in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / Alerting? Thanks, Fiery

We have worked quite a bit on Comodo Antivirus and Comodo Internet Security, but all we could figure out is how to detect their installation status and product version -- that will be implemented in the next AIDA64 beta release. However, we couldn't figure out how to detect virus database date or virus signature count for Comodo products

AIDA64 uses direct EC (Embedded Controller) register read calls in its kernel driver to measure various system temperatures on ThinkPads. Those warnings in the Event Log indicate Windows catches the low-level EC calls of AIDA64 and find them a bit "odd". It's only a warning, you don't need to worry about it.

Thank you for the feedback

Thank you for the feedback. AFAIK IMC voltage is not measured on those motherboards.

Thank you. We've fixed a bug in the mobile CPU detection part of AIDA64. Make sure to upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.co...13tqrs2v6chnzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.
