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.

AWESOME to hear can;t wait for that update to see if it works!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Done!  

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  

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!

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...  

Shall do and I will get back to you soon  

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

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  

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  

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.  

Well Vad, this is all it gives me.........if this dont help, I am sorry  

Application: HUD Desktop.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentOutOfRangeException(System.ExceptionArgument, System.ExceptionResource) at WindowsApplication1.Desktop.AddHardware(HardwareMonitor.Computer) at WindowsApplication1.Desktop..ctor() Exception Info: System.InvalidOperationException at WindowsApplication1.My.MyProject+MyForms.Create__Instance__[[System.__Canon, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]](System.__Canon) at WindowsApplication1.My.MyApplication.OnCreateMainForm() at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.OnRun() at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.DoApplicationModel() at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.Run(System.String[]) at WindowsApplication1.My.MyApplication.Main(System.String[]) 

YEEES !!!!! Thank you!!!! This is exactly what we were looking for. Looks  like the HardwareMonitor driver is completely incompatible with your computer. It stops because your video adapter cannot be identified and generates the ArgumentOutOfRangeException...

Very Good. The problem has been detected. Now I need time to figure out how to solve (or bypass) it. And I want to believe that everything will work out...

Hi, Vicki!

I replaced the System Monitoring library to more older version from Chronos Desktop project. Please check it:

HUD Desktop

Best Regards!

Vad.

Well........still don't work I know you are probably getting tired of trying huh? If ya don't want to keep trying to fix it, then I would not blame you. I went from a desktop computer to a all-in-one computer, when my old one died...........guess trying to save money isn't worth it! Just let me know what ya want to do, I will honor what ever! Thank you so much for trying though
