PowerInformer

[Sergey_Lebedev]

Hello,
I have a problem with PowerInformer:
1st It does not work on windows 7, because it use old winapi function.
2nd It is not working on windows XP on a laptops and desctops with different configurations.
Laptop : i5- 2410
Desctop : DualCore 5300
It was Russian Windows XP Home Basic;
When I open the application, it gives me a Error: "System finished initialised!!! Please click Exit and rerun the program"
Can you tell me working configurations, and, if it is possible, the instruments which this programm use. (WinApi func or some drivers)? And when new version of the proggram will be able to download?

Hi Sergey,

PowerInformer was designed to work on the English version of Windows XP ONLY.
There will be no new version of PowerInformer.

Thanks,
Khang

Hi,

You could look at MSDN's topics "Power Management API" or "Power Management".

Here is a list of different Win32 functions for Desktop platforms:

ReadProcessorPwrScheme - Retrieves the processor power policy settings for the specified power scheme.
