haha, that combination shouldn't ever happen, but who knows, maybe we will have self recharging batteries in the future

The word "closed" is only used in the log file. Log file example:

Hello,

I need help translating from English to German. Many of the translations below was done by myself or by Bing/Google Translate. Some words may still need to be translated and others needs to be shorten, changed, or abbreviated to fit into the text fields. See screenshots to view the ones that ...

In Purebasic 5.62 this line worked, result = 0
In Purebasic 5.70 this line failed, result = 3221228477

What changes do we need to make for this to work in 5.70?

This works, and matches both Task Manager and "systeminfo". :D But in what way is it unreliable? I'm hesitant to use it in that case. :( It's rare, but I've seen where a user's Performance Counters data has been corrupted in the registry or disabled. Sometimes its an easy fix by pointing them to ...

Hmm... I never seen it off by that much. Interesting. If you type in Command Prompt: Does it show boot up from 4 or 11 days ago?

The results of up time vary between PC to PC. The up time is suppose to match the one shown in the Windows Task Manager. Here's the computers I tested on just now:

ok, so you did those steps and it still doesn't work?

I've been working on a solution for you for awhile now. I just happened to run across a computer with the same symptoms that you mentioned and was hoping that would fix it.

Hm, nothing changed here. Still got CPU at 0%.
Customer brought in a computer today because it was running very slow with a Core i7 on Windows 7 Home. I noticed that Venmon was not reading the processor usage. I opened up the built-in Windows Performance Monitor tool and it had errors. Opened up ...
