    That's weird...looks like there were 2 or 3 Beta versions of NHC 1.9, but no finalized version?
    And now there's an NHC 1.10 Beta 1...

    Great tool. New disk power management and Ati powerplay/overclock wonderland. :) . And I am really eager to see that ACPI Fan management in the next release. I also like the screen icon for the power states.

    Edit:

    1.10 News and fixes in the Notebook Hardware Control BETA 01
    - NEW SERVICE (now NHC works on all user accounts at the same time)
    - ADD MONITORING (chart window and data logging on HD)
    - REMOVED the power scheme bug with NHC service (bug: the settings were set to default)
    - SECURETY IMPROVED: on restricted user accounts NHC runs with the restricted user privileges
    - (with RunAs NHC was running with admin rights and this was a security hole)
    - add Voltage Control for Pentium 4 (mobile and desktop)
    - add NHC Messages (possibility the send messages to NHC).
    - add ASUS / SAMSUNG HotKey Control
    - add Power Scheme Control (with service also available on restricted user accounts)
    - add the possibility to show the HD temperature in the system tray
    - add ATI Powerplay support, improved the ATI Clock Control
    - add HD Standby Time
    - improved the CPU clock detection
    - fixed a lot of bugs and problems
    - Todo: finish the nvidia support, finish the acpi fan control, add AMD and Intel Core Duo support,
    - expand FAQ, Help and webpage, add events in nhc and improve/add tray icon options.
    - (10.02.2006)

    Cheers,

    I like that they will have a nVidia power clock manager in the next release as well. That should hit a big portion of those missed by only having ATI controls.

    I like this release! It's a pretty well done program.

    it won't work on my new Sony Vaio FE550G. I tried the new version and the older. It works but it causes an error when I boot up and it makes it restart in an endless loop. Any idea how I can fix this?
