[Help me with and Error: Cannot initialise SPC dll]

William, I've tried most of the generic solutions: reinstalling it, uninstalling it & reinstalling it, rebooting . . . with no results. I think this problem deserves the attention of Piriform's Support Department, because I don't know if an average user can fix it. The problem is that Support costs money

 

Thank you Hunter,

 

I understand I with my reknewing my marriage vows tomorrow--almost like a total wedding, my pocketbook is quite empty and echoing. I hope someone will assist, The more I read it sounds like maybe a registry issue or something dont know but it is happening to more than the 2 of us.

[Help me with and Error: Cannot initialise SPC dll]

@Hunter,@Pastor:

 

I too can confirm this (infrequently) under XP Pro, SP3 with clean install of Speccy 1.10 and 1.11.

 

It happens to most or all of the summary cateories previously mentioned in this thread.

 

The only quick way around it (for me) is a system reboot when it occurs.

It is very hard to pin down, so if anyone should see a pattern that is reproducible please report it here.

 

TIA

 

 

Hi Compumind,

 

I can only start speccy one time under a computer start where it works fine, I then quit out after checking temps and then I try to start the speccy program again and it then fails. Just started yesterday so I upgraded to the 1.11 and it still does the same thing. If I restart the computer or shut it down and start it back up I can run speccy again the 1 (one) time only and it fails again each time I try to restart the speccy program.

I think I just started Speccy 1.11 for the first time and there is a problem. For several of the categories on the summary page, no information is displayed. Rather there is a message in orange letters: "Cannot Initialise SPC dll".

 

What does this mean and how can I fix it? Is it a problem with the program or my computer?

Hello Hunter, I too am having the same trouble With 1.11. I rebooted and it works the first time then does not work again unless you restart your computer. using XP spc 3 if you find out a fix please share.

[Wrong CPU Core Speed]

Modern CPUs are capable of speed throttling in order to greatly reduce power consumption when the CPU is mostly idle. Power management in Windows XP and 7, when set to any mode other than Always On, enables power management features for the CPU. Laptop, notebook and netbook manufacturers may also implement CPU power management options either in BIOS or via proprietary utilities installed on the computer.

 

Thank you Gonetoplaid,

 

Yes I agree and acknowledge that is true and definately happens here, however, the speed from the time you start speccy to the end after hours of running stays stationary and the multiplier will change frequently. Under any stress from idle to running a stress test which in previous versions changed the speed with usage as well as the multiplier.

[Motherboard Temp]

40C is not high from my experience. My ThinkPad laptop right now is reporting 45C and my desktop is reporting 48C. You're in good shape at 40C.

 

You can see the temps from all 3 of my PCs by clicking on the Speccy links in my signature.

 

Thank you Nikki,

 

Yes, I hope 40c isnt so bad with 5 fans in a mid-tower case but my question still arises to ponderment. As I turn on the computer, for example, the HD's will start off at maybe 26c and the CPU will start out at 28c. When I say start up I mean as soon as I can get past start up in windows, but thankfully the seagate Momentus XT drive has cut down a 10 minute plus start up time frame downto about 2 minutes or less. Nevertheless, when I start up Speccy, why is it that the motherboard reads immediately at 40c and then never seems to adjust itself. Does a motherboard heat up that quickly and never cools down or gets warmer?

 

Thank you again Nikki for the help and anything to help me get a clearer picture of this will be appreciated,

[speccy on win2k]

I need to know and find the last version of speccy that supports windows 2000.

I downloaded the latest version, 1.1 and very much to my regret, got told that my OS was not supported. Win 2000 is a stable version, that deserves being supported !

I know the early versions of speccy did support win2k.

Regards

 

 

You should be able to go to FileHippo. I believe right under the download latest version, it also has several others and even a more link to view more earlier versions as well. Hope this helps.

[Motherboard Temp]

Greetings Everyone,

 

Hope to find everyone having a great day. I downloaded Speccy A little while ago to watch my CPU Temps since I had taken off the heatsink and fan and cleaned it up nice and replaced using Silver 5 and the break in period is now at about 60 hours of its 200 or greater time.

 

Now comes the question. When I turn on the computer in the mroning or anytime I turn it on until I shut it down my Motherboard temp stays a steady--never flinching once at 40C. Here is a Print Screen:

 

Operating System

MS Windows XP Media Center Edition Professional 32-bit SP3

CPU

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 32 ?C

Manchester 90nm Technology

RAM

Motherboard

ASUSTek Computer INC. NAGAMI (Socket 939) 40 ?C

977GB Seagate ST31000340AS (SATA) 30 ?C

Optical Drives

TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H652M

Audio

Logitech Mic (Pro 9000)

 

As you can see, the temps for the cpu and HD's all change gradually or abrubtly from activity, never the motherboard. Am I reading this wrongly? 40C seems a little high.

 

Pastor William.

 

Thank you all for any help.
