I did upload the wallpaper WHERE?  YES! FOUND IT! VERY, VERY COOL!   YOU ROCK! chronos only showed CPU not GPU! This is the reason. I'm sad to say this, but currently there is no way to fix it. I asked you to check the latest OpenHardwareMonitor in the hopes that they added support for Intel Graphics drivers. But alas... I cannot do this myself, because there are no computers with Intel Video Adapters around me. Even if I find the necessary API, how to write and test the code? Hmmm... Anyway, I'll go to search in the Google and developer forums right now. Perhaps I'll be lucky and the solution will be found. Otherwise I'll try to turn off monitoring for non AMD/NVIDIA GPUs. The program should start but it will not be able to work at full strength. I'm sorry...   I'll upload an update as soon as it's ready.

Thank you for the comment on the wallpper.....glad you like it! That sucks with the intel video adapter.......you tried so hard and I thank you! If it changes and you find a fix.......I will be waiting to put that in   until then..........well I can look at the wallpaper. Again much appreciated for all your time and effort. Take care

This is very strange! You wrote:

Working great now.  Thanks a lot.

then

No problem with Windows 10 here.
August 21, 2020 2:03 PM

and then

Since the last update, my system meters and email isn't working.

But the single update (where was added the ability to configure the path to mail client via input box) that I have uploaded here was created at August 19, 2020 7:45 PM. Since that date, there have been no changes in the program!

So I have no idea what happened...

Sorry.  I meant Windows update.  Not HUD update.  I will reboot again and see if that fixes anything.  Thanks.

Okay.  Rebooting worked.  I don't know what happened but I'm back again.  Thanks.

What to say?... I found a very old BenQ Joybook A52E laptop made in 2007...

Specification:

  1. Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit (with  DirectX 11)
  2. Processor: Intel(r) Core(TM)2 CPU T760 @ 2.33Ghz
  3. Memory: Hynix DDR2 (installed 4.0 Gb, usable 3584 Mb )
  4. Graphics: ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M (video memory installed size: 128 Mb)
  5. Hard Drive: Intel SSDSC2BF180A4H ATA 180 GB

As you can see, this laptop is not too cool...  However, I made HUD Desktop work on this antiquity!

To be honest, I had to work hard and change the code significantly. And I would like to hope that there will be no more complaints... At least take a look at the spec before doing that.

There are some tests left on my Windows 10 PC. Then I will send an update. Maybe tomorrow.

Well damn...........I have an intel graphics, so it won't work for me. Thank you Vad for your dedication to making this right though......not many would take the time! You Da Man

I have an intel graphics, so it won't work for me.

Sorry, but I couldn't find any APIs for Intel GPUs. I don't understand why such a reputable company doesn't have an SDK for their Graphics Cards. This is shame...

However, all other features should work and you can use the program without GPU Meter.  

P.S. As far as I understand, your computer has an Intel® Processor with integrated Intel® HD Graphics. I have the similar Processor on my PC. But it also has another AMD Radeon™ Graphics Adapter, that is showing in the Device Manager, as opposed to the built-in one. I found out about its existence only after reading the description of my CPU...

Just interesting what do you see here: Device Manager --> Display adapters?

Intel graphics UHD 630

Thank you.

I studied the problem a little deeper and that's what I understood. The Integrated Graphics do not have a separate Temperature Sensor. Thus, its temperature is equal to that of the parent Processor. Hence, you don't need GPU Monitor at all!

So you may use HUD Desktop (assuming it starts on your computer, of course).

It won't even start!   I tried shutting off my anti-virus, changing the UAC........and still nothing. I give up.........none the less though, damn nice desktop gadget!

It won't even start!

IMPOSSIBLE! All the updates I uploaded have been tested on BenQ before (look at the Comment #46). This laptop is so old that I was sure that HUD Desktop could not fail to run on any other computer. Looks like I was wrong...

The only thing we can do in this case - look into your Event Viewer. It should contain the Application Error Events for HUD Desktop.

Please, clean up all records in the Event Viewer and delete the folder "C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\SD Gadgets\HUD Desktop"  (if any...). Then restart your computer and try to run HUD Desktop several times by double clicking on .exe.

After that open Event Viewer -> Custom Views and post here the details of any HUD Desktop errors you find. I need this info to understand and resolve the problem.

I'm sorry...

Ok.....here we go

Faulting application name:HUD Desktop.exe, version 10.9.0.9, time stamp Ox5f58912d

Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version 10.0.19041, time stamped Ox5b4a3325

Exception code: Oxe0434352

Fault offset: Ox0000000000023e49

Faulting process id: Ox28a8

Faulting application start time Ox01d688c04fec85b6

Faulting application path: C\users\IceBa\Downloads\HUD Desktop\HUD Desktop.exe

Faulting module path: C\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll

Report id: 1fa4f90c-4d50-4870-8431-f12447972589

Well that is everything............don't know if that helps, or if it is the right thing you needed but, let me know. By the way, don't be sorry, you have done evrything to try to fix this for me, maybe my computer is just stubborn but, I hope it can work on mine. If not.....Thank You So Much for trying

Comment #57 Saturday, September 12, 2020 5:01 AM

Faulting module path: C\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll

Thank you! But that's not it... This is reporting an error in KERNELBASE.dll caused by HUD Desktop. Please look carefully. There should be more lines reporting an error directly in the HUD Desktop Application Code not in KERNELBASE. At least I saw lines like this on Win-7 when I was looking for errors in the program. So the same lines should be in the Win-10 Event Viewer too.

PLEASE!!!!  We are very close to the goal...

I will check again........I'm not real good with computers, thats all that showed up but, maybe there is something else I have to hit to see more! I will investigate a little further, than get back to you

Comment #59 Monday, September 14, 2020 4:49 AM

I'm not real good with computers

I'm too... Plus my bad English...  

As far as I remember, the Event Viewer writes two Application Error records. The first one you have already seen - KERNELBASE.dll --> HUD Desktop.exe. The second entry must be immediately above or below the first. That entry should contain information about the error in the application itself with the names of the buggy functions / subroutines and the order of their execution. That's what we are looking for.
