Unfortunately I'm not running Vista, but to have a quick solution
that may work for running Vista change settings (fancontrol.ini):

Code: Select all

StartMinimized=0
MinimizeToSysTray=0

program should come up with window open and is minimized to taskbar showing max. temperature. Only minimize, don't close it , program is stopped! In this case you have to doubleclick C:\tpfancontrol\restart.bat

This problem happens because of partial incompatibility with Windows Vista.
Please contact the program or device manufacturer(s) for more information.

Edit: "Show me the message" only gives me a blank screen..

you must "allow service to interact with desktop" (checkbox on properties of service) as shown in:

minding the lost systray icon I created a beta version with an embedded manifest for Vista:

may be that helps (I'm not running Vista)

Known Issues of UAC and Resolutions:

Problem:
Applications started with a full administrator access token do not show up on the taskbar

Resolution:
Start system tray (systray.exe) from an elevated command prompt.
Use the Alt tab to switch between active programs and select one of the elevated programs.

namezero wrote:How can I turn off logging of tpfancontrol?

For latest version 0.18 it keeps writing to fancontrol.log whenever there's a change in fan speed. Since I'm using a rather slow/old laptop, fan speed varies a lot. That might just prevent hard drive from stopping at all.

Or does it write to fancontrol.log only when tpfancontrol shuts down peacefully?

I'm running tpfancontrol on T23 and with Windows XP.

troubadix wrote:Sorry, there is no builtin option to switch off logging yet, and it's logging everytime fan status changes. But I use these settings on my T23 with WinXP:

IconLevels=65 85 95
Level=55 0
Level=65 1
Level=85 7
Level=95 64

switching is not so often and works well. Pentium IIIm is supposed to switch off, when it's getting over 100°C. That never happened to my T23.

4. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> optional:


  a) to stop acpi-embedded-controler from spamming system.log
     switch to acpi-embedded-controler with NoLog-Option
     "acpiecnl.sys" instead of original "acpiec.sys"

       double click on:  instecnl.bat

       double click on:  acpiecLogOff.reg  

       confirm the registry change and reboot.

     Attention: now no error is reported from acpiec!


  b) to switch back to original embedded-controler "acpiec.sys"

       double click on:  acpiecLogOn.reg   

       confirm the registry change and reboot.

     c:\windows\system32\drivers\acpiecnl.sys  remains, 
     don't mind or delete by hand after switching back (4b)

Does Visual C++ 2005 Express produce compatible code for Windows 2000/XP using the same 6.0 source?

namezero wrote: Did the change... what change have you done?

	FILE *flog= fopen("fancontrol.log", "ab");

	//	fwrite(line, strlen(line), 1, flog); 
	//	fclose(flog);
	// }

fancontrol.ini:
Log2File=1 enables, Log2File=0 disables writing to fancontrol.log
