However I want to clarify that I didn't write the original fix (attached to the OP) I dl'ed it here I just figured out how to modify the batch file (included in the fix) so I could run coretemp at startup and not have to disable driver signing everytime I booted Windows

I wanted to post it here so that anyone who sees this in the future understands that I DID NOT write the original tweak. I only made a very slight modification to the included batch file to suit my needs.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

This all started because I wanted to use CoreTemp in Vista x64 without having to manually disable driver signing every time booted into windows. (See THIS thread.) Anyway after some research I came across a file that allows you to run CoreTemp without disabling driver signing. The problem was that with this "fix" you have to run a batch file every time you start CoreTemp. To me this was just as annoying. On top of it all I wanted to get CoreTemp to start every time I booted windows. Well after some brainstorming I came up with an idea on how to get CoreTemp to work with Vista x64 and get it to load when windows starts! It was actually very easy! Here is how to do it:

You start by downloading the CoreTemp "fix" I mentioned above. (attached to this post) The zip file contains a folder with 4 files in it:

ALSysIO64.sys - These first 2 files are the driver files used to run Core Temp on Vista x64
Atsiv.exe
Core Temp.exe - regular Core Temp program nothing special
coretemp-startup.bat - Used to load the driver files...here's where the tweak comes in

Unzip the files so that all 4 are contained within the same folder. Just make sure its not the program files folder. I'll explain why in a second*.

Next you are going to edit the batch file (right click>edit) when the window opens you will see 2 commands that load the 2 driver files mentioned before. They are:

Atsiv -u ALSysIO64.sys
Atsiv -f ALSysIO64.sys

All you need to do is add a start command that will load Core Temp. here is what mine looked like when I was done:

Atsiv -u ALSysIO64.sys
Atsiv -f ALSysIO64.sys
start "CoreTemp" "C:\Users\Mike\Documents\CoreTemp\Core Temp.exe"(change your path to wherever Core Temp.exe is located)

When this is done save the batch file.

Now on the desktop create a shortcut to the batch file. Once this is done move the shortcut to your startup folder and you're done! Now every time windows start Core Temp will load also!!

I hope you guys find this useful!! It took me a lot of trial and error to get this to work correctly.

*You cant extract the files to the "program files" folder because windows will block the batch file from running at startup
REMINDER: Make sure all 4 files stay in the same folder.
