Real Temp - New temp program for Intel Core processors

[unclewebb]

it says i need to be logged in as administer to access drivers. so i'm guessing it's not yet compatible with beta windows 7?

In XP and Vista you have to run RealTemp as an Administrator so I'm not sure if there is any difference. You'll definitely have to do the same in Windows 7. There's no other OS legal way for the open source WinRing0 driver that RealTemp uses to gain access to the temperature sensor data.

In Vista the best way to start RealTemp when you boot up is using the Task Scheduler.

This way you can assign Administrator rights and not have to worry about this. The Task Scheduler works great and I'd be very surprised if that option is not available in Windows 7. The RealTemp folder needs to be located in a directory that you have privileges to run programs from.
