Well, both programs don't work in Win98! :-(

CPU-Z 1.55 gives a crash (BSOD). I've been in contact with the author in the last 2 days and he has fixed the problem already, but the new Win98 version is still not on his website.

And HW-Monitor 1.16 gives an error message because he used a WinAPI function call which doesn't exist in Win98.

I've just written him another e-mail, so it will take some time until also this problem will be fixed.

Not exactly - at least in my case.

No problem with CPU-Z (exe from 9 July) but indeed, latest HW-Monitor doesn't work in Win98 SE.

Well, then you're one of the lucky ones with a modern CPU. ;-)

This new CPU-Z tries to access special CPU registers, and if they are not available then the program crashes with a BSOD in Win98.

So you seem to have a CPU with these special registers. :-)

Nothing modern - quite old Athlon 64.

I get a BSOD on my 98SE system as well, a Dell with a Pentium-4, 2.4GHZ.
