    Just did a clean install of Windows on my M15x, and installed the new ThrottleStop. When I change the options to show the clock speed and temps for my CPU and GPU in the taskbar, it doesn't seem to save the options, and I have to change them every time I start up my laptop.

    Anyone know how to save the options?

    Thanks.

    Right click on the ThrottleStop.INI file and have a look at the file permissions. If you moved the ThrottleStop folder directly to the C: drive or a D: drive, etc., the file permissions can get changed by Windows which can block your settings from being saved. Try adjusting these permissions if you need to.

    Thanks Uncle Webb. I'll play around with the permissions to see if it will solve it.
