Anyone know a program like cpuz that runs in Windows 7?

EDIT:as the titel says i would like a program that does cpuz's job for windows 7. unfortunatly cpuz and gpuz cause vista to freeze when thy load.

Hate to say this, but they work fine in my Vista x64.
Tried compatibility mode? Or run as . . . . administrator?

As Philly says, I'm on Vista Home Prem x64 and CPUZ works fine. Try Philly's suggestions first. Failing that, make sure you have the most recent version of CPUZ and run windows update if required.

You have problems if both cause system halts. They should work fine.

have you got any annoying security software like kerpersky(as a example) that like taking the hooks out. ?

it might just let it go under vista..... I know that was stupid question to ask, but still...if its casuing instablities than thier is something wrong, is it all upto date i mean windows and the versions of cpuz/GPUz ?

kEn_sct · 3 Aug 2009 at 00:57

windows 7 ultimate release candiadte 32bit and up 2 date.

cpuz is vertion 1.52

AMG · 3 Aug 2009 at 01:02

okay sounds like you have a bit of a problem with win 7 lol

do you have any security software that likes disabling exes and stuff? but letting in go in vista my last problem thing or I m stuffed

could always ask about the chipset drivers

kEn_sct · 3 Aug 2009 at 01:04

Running AVG antivirus btw. also how do u run under a difrent os with win 7?? i cant find it

Edit: also where i find out about chipset drivers. chipset is Nforce4

I'm running win7 x64, and AVG, and both cpuz and gpuz load and work fine.
Try dropping your UAC to a lower setting? tho tbh, it should jus ask, and then allow
