Apparently since Windows Vista such feature is no longer available in the Task Scheduler API. So we'll remove the double-click hint in the next AIDA64 beta release. It's normal. We chose not to display system tasks, because it would make the list of scheduled task very long, and would make finding non-system tasks rather difficult.

We've checked AnyDVD and CloneDVD, and they protect product keys with encryption. We'll check the rest soon.

1) Nero and Photoshop is already supported. But modern software products may encrypt their license keys, effectively preventing AIDA64 to collect them. 2) We'll check the rest of the requested software 3) Audio codecs are enumerated via acmDriverEnum Windows API call. Video codecs are enumerated via ICInfo Windows API call. I guess K-Lite fails to register the installed codecs properly, and so those API calls do not see the installed codecs. Regards, Fiery

Are you sure you have any opened files? Please note that in that case "opened" means the file is accessed from across the local network.

Yes, it's normal. Your video adapter lowers its clocks when you're not running a 3D application (like a 3D game). You can use AIDA64 System Stability Test to stress your system and check if it is overheating under heavy load. Go to AIDA64 / main menu / Tools / System Stability Test, enable only the "FPU" test, and press the Start button. Watch whether the lower graph (Throttling) shows any non-zero percent activity.

Thank you for the feedback. Regards, Fiery

We've fixed that in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1611kb6wjk2msdzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery

You're right, listing scheduled tasks may not work in some cases under Windows Vista and Windows 7. We'll fix that. I'll drop a message into this topic once a fixed AIDA64 build becomes available. Thanks, Fiery

Yes, we do have plans about such new hardware monitor items. I'll drop a message into this topic once the requested feature becomes available in AIDA64. Thanks, Fiery

1) Does the clock measurement in AIDA64 work properly if you close CPU-Z and any other software that also measures CPU clock? 2) Please right-click on the bottom status bar of AIDA64 main window --> CPU Debug --> CPUID & MSR Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic. Thanks, Fiery

Please note that the shared memory content doesn't have a fixed length, so the number of characters is dynamically changed depending on the shared memory content. We indicate the end of string by the NUL character. If you use a char* or PChar sort of variable, then it should be easy to handle a zero-terminated string.

NUL character is used to indicate the end of the string.

We could display that in many cases (not just with CrossFire/ULPS), since there're numerous pitfalls while performing hardware detection. And as I've stated above, our workarounds work in most cases, just not in all cases. It's not easy to decide in which case shall we display a warning.

Please stop blaming us. I've further explained in the other thread where you posted similar comment. This thread is closed.

Please choose your words more carefully. It's not our fault that AMD implemented the ULPS feature in a way that causes issues to 3rd party software vendors like us and many other guys who work on diagnostic and monitoring software. We've talked to a software/firmware developer who works close to AMD about this, and even he admitted the way AMD implemented ULPS in their drivers is very unwise. It simply turns off the secondary GPU when it's not used, and a simple MMIO readout -- a standard Windows method to read registers from various type of hardware -- causes a hard lock on the computer. Please note that I'm talking about readout, not writing to any registers. If you know what MMIO is, how Windows kernel drivers work, and what should happen when a system component goes to sleep, then it should be obvious to you that how ULPS works is clearly unacceptable. We've tried to implement workarounds, in fact, we did implement 3 different workarounds to overcome the ULPS nightmare, but they don't work in some cases. If you want to blame anyone or ban anyone, it should be AMD Catalyst developers, and not AIDA64 or any other 3rd party applications. BTW, nVIDIA wisely invented and then keeps maintaining, improving and extending a special interface called NVAPI, that allows 3rd party developers to safely communicate with the GPUs, including SLI configurations. It's a fast an efficient way to access the GPU, to measure clocks, temperatures, voltages and other properties. AIDA64 implements support for NVAPI to avoid any potential issues that would be caused by direct communication with video hardware. AMD on the other hand implemented their own solution called ADL (in their Catalyst driver suite), which is very slow and inefficient way of talking to their hardware. We simply cannot use that in AIDA64, because it would make it impossible to read clocks, temperatures and voltages in real-time, with a frequent update period. If AMD would have implemented ADL properly, we could use it to avoid ULPS issues. Don't get me wrong, we love AMD's video adapters. We just hate their drivers and the way they implemented ULPS. And it's quite frustrating when someone puts the blame on us. That's all.

Of course you can use that feature. So if you set it to once a day, such users who log on to their computer multiple times a day will only have one report created every day. By using the /SILENT command-line option, the system tray icon of AIDA64 will be hidden.

The only potential issue I can see about your command-line is the space characters in the shared folder name. Try to rename the folder called AIDA64 Business Edition to something simpler, e.g. aida64business. The rest of the command-line seems just fine. If it still doesn't work, then check if you provided the necessary write permissions to the \\server\report folder for your network users.

I'm afraid that's currently not possible with AIDA64.

That's the usual behavior of modal windows. When you minimize the modal window, the whole application gets minimized, and when you restore the application, the modal window is still minimized, so only the main application window is restored.

You need to purchase as many licenses as many computers you want to audit. If you have a network with 100 computers, you need to have 100 licenses of AIDA64 Business Edition.

Please try to disable automatic launching from Logitech drivers (using Logitech LCD Manager), and instead rely on the built-in auto-startup feature of AIDA64 that you can activate in AIDA64 / main menu / File / Preferences / General / Load AIDA64 at Windows startup. Regards, Fiery
