Cool 'n Quiet on K8V Deluxe

[Audun Røe]

Having some trouble getting the Cool 'n Quiet software working on my
system. When I start the software, I get somewhere from 100-200
windows with the message:
',' is not a valid integer value.

These boxes continue popping up at the rate of three per second for
half a minute until windows kills the process..

I've followed the install-instructions.. Enabled cool'n'quiet in bios,
enabled ACPI 2.0, installed the driver and set power-management to
minimal. All work nicely. It's running the utility that's impossible.

By the by, I've updated all the stuff I can think of as relevant:

- BIOS updated to 1004, though PCProbe reports 1003.027 for some
reason. Can't actually see if this is displayed somewhere during POST
because my screen doesn't have time to synch before BIOS-info is long
gone and entered SATA controller init This doesn't seem to be
listed under the info tab in bios itself either, but I'm assuming the
flash went ok. When I try to run it again, it claims "same version" so
all seems ok..

- Latest 4-in-1s.

- Latest Cool'n'quiet driver+tool from the asus site as opposed to
whatever is on the support CD.


So, any suggestions? I'm betting that I'm doing something stupid,
because I can't seem to find anyone having the same problem anywhere
else.. Which is generally an indication that it's your own fault.. =)

Other than this, btw, the system works perfectly. No problems at all
surprisingly enough, considering I didn't know about the apparent
capacitor problem before I looked here in search of a solution to the
whole Cool'n'Quiet thing.. Guess I lucked out for once

Hi,
Dont know for sure about your problem, but maybe the cool & quiet driver is
not the latest.
Take a look at this....

Download AMD AthlonT 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP 1.1.0.1

Hope it helps.....

Sadly, installing this didn't work. (small improvement. The one I had
was 1.1.0.0 but worth a shot)

Guess I'm out of luck on this one, and have to settle with Q-Fan,
which works in a way.. Just that I imagine CnC would be much better.

Just so you know - I got the exact same problem. , is not an integer number.

Let me know if you find a solution.

AMD didn't think of the European users when they created this
application.
They don't expect a "," as decimal separator but only a "." for the CPU
Frequency and the CPU Voltage display.
If you change the "," in your regional settings to a "." then it works
ok.
But that is not really a solution for me (as many other (german)
programs
don't work like I want them to).
