Did you follow beta installation instructions and install SpeedFan 4.35 Final first?

Well in fact, I never install Speedfan when installing a new Windows, I just run the program. I never had any problem with that.

So, the first time I tried speedfan 4.35 without installation, it crashed.

I then installed the software with normal procedure. It also crashed after that.

I have put speedfan 4.36 executable in speedfan installation folder and ran it. It crashed. Always the same message.

SpeedFan 4.35 has a full installer.
Beta, usually, are simple exe replacements.
Did you install 4.35?
Please, describe 4.35 crash, if any.

Yes I did install 4.35 with the full installer. The crash is described above, when I run it, I have Windows saying "Speedfan as stopped working" under a second later.

I just saw that the runtime error position is different in 4.35 and 4.36:

- 4.35 crash error: "Runtime error 217 at 004D72E0"
- 4.36 crash error: "Runtime error 217 at 004D8528"

also speedfan crashes in win 7 x64. Set it to compability Vista and run as admin.
here it's 4.36 crash error: "Runtime error 217 at 004D8558"

good news is, 4.36 windows 7 32bit in a vm runs fine, just doens't find many sensors obviously

However 4.34 runs without problem on x64, hope that helps

I'm testing SpeedFan on Windows 7. There are two issues:
1) the installer is not yet able to identify this new OS and fails to install the needed drivers;
2) SpeedFan tries to use GIVEIO, which causes a "privileged instruction" error.
I'm working to fix (1). If you are smart enough to install speedfan.sys, all you have to do is to run SpeedFan with the /NOGIVEIO command line parameter.

Ok. Now SpeedFan works fine on Windows 7 32 bit. If you want to try this beta, feel free to contact me by email. Please, use an email address where you can receive exes and zipped exes.

Hello Alfredo,

thanks a lot to work on this. But sorry to bring bad news, I still have the same problem:

- 4.37 crash error: "Runtime error 217 at 004D85B8"

Edit: How do you install manually speedfan.sys?

I have Beta 1 64-bit, it installs without problem, but the program just hangs (and can't be terminated without restarting the system) after the SMART checkup.

OK, updates, I just forgot to restart the system. SpeedFan 4.37 works perfectly fine for me on build 7000 x64.

Oh, installed on build 7000 (did not install last time), and now it works!

Thanks and sorry for the trouble I may have given you after saying it didn't work in build 7000.

Hello
versions : v4.37 and windows 7 32 bits build 7000

I have the same problems as others but i can't solve it.
i copied manually the speedfan.sys in system32 directory (the file was not present), run it with or without /nogiveio parameter, installed 10 times and runned with or without admin privilege or compatibility mode but crashed everytime.

I noticed that the installer give a lot more infos when installing on xp

ps : i don't see any beta versions in your beta program. It would be nice to publish in your beta area the working version on 7 as it seems to be a lot of 7 enthusiastic users :)
