K.Daube Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Dear all, I have installed Aida64 Extreme Edition (1.60.1300) on my Windows x64 machine. However, the report about the Operating System is completely wrong: Operating System: Micrososft Windows XP Media Center Edition OS Service Pack: Service Pack 3 However, according to Control-Panel it should be: Operating System: Windows 7 Professional OS Service Pack: (none) Other items (eg concerning Motherboard, display etc) all seem to be correct. Also Computer Name, OS installation date etc. in the category Computer are correct - just the OS isn't. This is a registered (life long license), purchase 2010-04-16. It had been installed on a fresh OS (no upgrade) on this machine with a previously empty HD and updated to the latest version today. How come?

Fiery Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Maybe AIDA64 is running in XP compatibility mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Daube Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Maybe AIDA64 is running in XP compatibility mode? Thanks for that important question: No the compatibilty flag is not set in the program-properties.

Fiery Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The fact that the OS version is reported as v5.1.2600 definitely suggests that some kind of compatibility mode is activated for the AIDA64 process. I'm not sure why is that though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Daube Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Fiery,for your information the following screenshot: I have pulled down the UAC slider to be able to autostart programs with that compatibility flag - may that have an influence? My user account is of type Administrator. Can You give me a hint where I could look for that 'compatibility information' (E.g. policy editor, REG key)?

Squall Leonhart Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 works as it should for me. tried not running it via xpmode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.Daube Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well, task manager says: aida64.exe *32 I do not run it normally in compatibility (XP) mode, but also in this mode i have the same error. So there must be somewhere in my system a red flag (did not know that aida is a bull . Strange but not that a problem, because everything else seems to be correct.
