Hi. Please help me solve my problem with CPU-Z.
I was in the middle of my work when this error popped up saying: An error occurred when opening the driver.
CPU-Z will launch but not all information will be available.
After that error some of my data becomes hidden.
I tried restarting my computer and it would work smoothly in few minutes.
But after that, the same error message popped up again.
And I need to restart my computer again to make it work.
Please I need some help.

Hi,
May be your CPU-Z version does not have the "cpuz.sys" file (and It has the "cpuz.exe" and "cpuz-readme.txt" only).
The cpuz.sys is to be temporarily created every time CPUZ is run and when CPU-Z is closed, it is to be deleted.
You may try the steps given below to avoid your problem;
-
Run CPU-Z in your "real" XP.
-
See whether the "cpuz.sys" file is created.
-
Copy this created file into a separate folder.
-
Close CPU-Z.
-
See whether the "cpuz.sys" file which was created in the CPU-Z directory has been deleted while the "cpuz.sys" that you copied into the separate folder remains.
-
Move that file into the plugin/space folder.
-
In the “cpuz.inf” file, comment the line of the "cpuz.vxd" as in the line shown below in bold:
cpuz.exe=a,,1
cpuz.sys=a,,1
;cpuz.vxd=a,,1
cpuz-readme.txt=a,,1
Hope it works out right.
Well if not, you may also try uninstalling your CPU-Z and reinstalling it.
I hope the link given will be useful as well.

Well, cpu-z is a great program.
Uninstalling and reinstalling it definitely works better.
