No , I haven't test it. I want a program with abilities of Notebook Hardware Control , but Systool is for overclocking , yeah ?
sorry that recommendation was based on not knowing what you were looking to do with NHC and the general presumption that all here are out to OC their laptops. anyhow i haven't messed with NHC or Systool myself but last i checked NHC was just recently made to work with Vista and is still in "pre-release" status. you might need to wait for the next version or visit their forum.

this thread may actually have to do with your issue: http://www.p35-forum.de/board/noteb...sh/7251-driver-not-load-on-vista-os/?0efa8af5

another possibly helpful thread:

Is it possible that you could just delete the startup entry (using ccleaner etc) and then just run it manually after startup? I'm pulling at straws here...

Still not working. Help me please. Does it work under Vista ?

Hmm, when I run ClockGen it only has "Options" and "Clocks". Under options all it lists is:

General:

Frames Snap

Profiles Management:

Apply Current Settings at Startup

Shouldn't there be more options than that or is the purpose literally just to display Clock Speeds of FSB, processor and RAM?

That image essentially says that ClockGen is unusable on my laptop?

Looks like even CPUFSB is a no-go. Alienware's not an option for Mainboard Manufacturer. If anyone has any ideas I'd GREATLY appreciate them.

This is frustrating me, the fact that I swapped the OS immediately after getting it wouldn't have messed up the ability to find the PLL would it? Would using the OS disc that came with the laptop or using system restore possibly fix this issue?

Hmm, Chang, and anyone else with Vista, mind going to Windows Experience Indexer and posting what your scroes are? Been pondering buying a Mobility x1600 and swapping it with my x1400 but not sure if it'd be worth it or easy to change out. My current ratings (range is 1.0 - 5.9) are:

Processor: 4.9
RAM: 4.5
Graphics: 3.3
Gaming Graphics: 3.6
Hard Drive: 5.2

Looks like I really need to overclock or buy that x1600 I've been thinking of.

No x1600, only a go 7600 you'd have to buy from Alienware. Oh could you by any chance take some pics when you swap the cards.....I wonder if I could get a go 7600 from Alienware and use it in my laptop.
