SIW and CPU's Temperature
2007-02-07 01:46:01 I've added code to display the CPU's temperature for Intel's Core Duo/Solo, Core 2 Duo/Extreme, Xeon 5100 and all AMD's K8 chips.The temperature readings are very accurate as the data is collected from a Digital Thermal Sensor (or DTS) which is located in each individual processing core, near the hottest part.The beta version can be downloaded from http://www.gtopala.com/siw_beta.htmlIf you have a Core or a K8 CPU, please test it and let me know the result.I don't know the meaning of Sensor0 and Sensor1 for AMD K8.

SIW with Installer
2006-12-03 16:22:00 I got many emails with questions like "how can I add SIW to the Start menu?", "how can I uninstall SIW?", etc.The answer is simple: use the SIW with Installer - download the setup.msi file from http://www.gtopala.com/siw_download, and run it.
SIW 1.64 is unable to save its configuration file.
2006-11-26 18:51:00 The options are saved in an xml file called "C:Documents and Settings\%USER%Application DatagtopalaSIWsiw_init.xml" (Win NT, 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista) or "C:WINDOWSApplication DatagtopalaSIWsiw_init.xml" (Win 9x).SIW 1.64 fails to create the "gtopalasiw" folders if they don't exist before creating the options file.Workaround: manually create these folders.Thanks to Michel Cote for reporting this bug.

Finding the Windows 98 Product Key.
2006-11-06 22:35:00 Because you were asked for the Key when you first installed Window s , it's saved in the Registry. Even if you are unable to start Windows, as long as you can get to the command line,(a C: prompt) you can run this on the SYSTEM.DAT file that's part of the Registry. For Windows 98 installations, type:find.exe /I "Prod uct Key" %winbootdir%SYSTEM.DAT The first line of the values returned should show the product key in a form similar to: ?????-?????-?????-?????-?????.
