Hiya, I just tried the CpuIdle Vista Beta Trial on Vista x64 Ultimate.
I keep getting this message:
‘Couldn’t open CpuIdle driver , make sure to reboot after installation.’
every time I try to start it.
I installed it with Administrator rights & have tried many times to run it with admin rights (by right-clicking & selecting ‘run as admin’).
I have UAC turned OFF, and have uninstalled, restarted & reinstalled many, many times.
Any help?
Does CouIdle just not work on x64 systems? (I have a Intel Core 2 Duo (is x64)).

CpuIdle is not supported on x64 systems- but does run on Vista.

Can I use CPU Idle on a Core2Duo (E6600)? Or does ‘no x64′ mean all processors with x64 support.

What! Not supported on Vista x64!
*Noooooooooooooo !!!!* (He Screamed Very Dramatically).
So when will Vista x64 be supported? Please give me an answer!!! I need it!!!!

CpuIdle currently supports all Windows x32 platforms. x64 is not in the game yet.

I installed CpuIdle on my new FSC Amilo v3205 laptop with Intel Core Duo and Windows Vista Business. Normally, the laptop makes a high-pitched sound that may become annoying when there is perfect silence around. But with CpuIdle I can barely hear it. Hmm… feature? bug? Anyway, it’s a good thing.
Now, I don’t know if the program actually cools the processor, I will do a test as soon as I install a temperature monitor.
I want to mention a problem, though: I have the Aero interface and have set the taskbar to autohide, but when CpuIdle runns, it keeps reappearing for a fraction of a second as the systray is updated, so I disabled the systray display of processor usage to get rid of this problem.

I forgot to mention that this high-pitched sound is not hearable when the processor in on full load (this without CpuIdle).
Maybe this information is helpful and somebody can explain me what the deal is with this thing. I read on forums about other laptop models that make this noise too.

hmmm it’s strange, usually my notebook fan is off and it’s just fine to keep it cool. but with cpuidle, somehow it force my fan to turn on.
now i’m questioning this program to be usefull since mine doesn’t support temperature sensor

I’m a registered user of Cpu Idle and have to use the beta at the moment which seems to work well on my Vista Core2Duo. Where and when can I download the fully registered Vista version??
November 18th, 2007 at 4:52 pm
It’s already available for registered customers.

In the CPUIdle User Guide under the Optimization Section it says
“If a given feature exists on a CPU it will be enabled by default. If you experience problems with this please read the next section on how to disable the features you don’t need.”
In the copy of the User Guide I have, there is no “next section” where it explains how to disable.
The only things after are the Legal and the Disclaimer sections
Thanks

is it compatible with Intel Core Quad 9450 ?
(if now….for a future release) Cpuidle is the must of cpu cooling application
but now will have a 9450 (in two weeks) en no cooling software …

> use speedfan….

Is there any chance for Vista 64-support? I saw the beta version had support for Speedfan, why not add CoreTemp “http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/” as well.
