cannot initialize cpu dll

Speccy
1

I just downloaded speccy Ver 1.02.156 and thought I would give it a try. When I run the program it does not show me the CPU, RAM,

MOBO, or the Hard drive info.... just displays "cannot initialize cpu dll" any thoghts as to why this is or just needs to be fixed.

any thoughts or comments would be appreciated

Perhaps you could let us know what operating system you use, and anymore info you think may be useful.

I'm experiencing the same problem ("Cannot initialize CPU.dll") when running Speccy 1.02 on a PC whose Operating System is Windows 2000 Server. Perhaps Win 2000 Server isn't supported by Speccy?

I'm having a similar problem! Speccy just freezes up my whole pc having displayed about half the information.

I've attached CPUID file fyi.

Any suggestions?

I'm using Windows XP SP3.

Thanks.

Yes, I have the same problem, using Win XP Pro (SP3). As there appears no feedback on this, here is my solution

PC-Wizard, which is a similar tool, has no such problems. Install it and drop Speccy.

Can anyone recreate this with 1.06?

I have the same problem

Win XP SP3

Speccy ver 1.08.218

RAM

Motherboard

Hard Drives

For all the above:

cannot initialize CPU DLL

Running speccy.exe /debug

[2011-02-03 11:28:28] [iNFO ] CPU SDK at: H:\DOCUME~1\Massimo\LOCALS~1\Temp speccycpuid.dll

[2011-02-03 11:28:30] [iNFO ] CPU dll init failed

I have the same issue

Windows XP SP3

Speccy ver. 1.08.218

I'm using Avast! antivirus

CCleaner and Defraggler run fine without any problem.

Speccy worked fine just before I ran CCleaner. I figured Ccleaner had probably deleted something usesful to speccy in the registry, so I uninstalled and re-installed Speccy. That didn't fix anything.

Edit :

Everything runs fine again after a reboot

Interesting, we'll have another look at this :)

Can you retest this now that the devs have released a new version

I've got the same problem here. "cannot initialize cpu dll"

I'm running Speccy 1.10, and tried Portable Speccy 1.11 and had the same problem.

It is on Windows XP SP3 Pro, with Kaspersky 6.0 for Windows Workstation (business).

After seeing this thread, i've tried to reboot and weirdly enough it worked.

Do someone knows why the "cpu dll" cannot be "initialized" after some time? (this computer isn't shutdown often, just put in sleep)

17

Can someone post a screenshot of this issue present in 1.11?

Can someone post a screenshot of this issue present in 1.11?

I will try, since it happens to me under 1.11 - have to "catch" it first. :)

Hi pedro3:

Not a Virus, so no worries! :D

I'm sure the brains at Piriform are working on it.

Are you experiencing this problem, or just curious?
