Hi, When enabling 'Autostart minimized with system', I always get the follwing error message during boot 'Error initializing SMC Layer, please make sure that your Mac system is supported and you have correctly installed the program.' And Macs Fan Control is not lauched. When boot is fully completed (Boot Camp icon present in system tray and services lauched), manual lauch of Macs Fan Control is successfull. I therefore wrote a script in the windows startup folder to delay by 20s the lauch of Macs Fan Control which worked well. I have updated to the last beta 4 and this does not work anymore (I have done some other updates so I am not absolutely sure whether the new version is responsible.) Nevertheless, the 'Autostart minimized with system' still does not work and manual launch after boot is still OK.
Thanks a lot for your work, hoping you can solve these issue. Best regards. Configuration iMac 24' early 2008 - Machine:iMac8,1 Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Windows XP SP3 - Boot Camp 2.2. Hi again, I just checked the registry for some MFC related keys and I get duplicated ones in HKCU Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Run: 'MacsFanControl'=' 'C: Program Files Macs Fan Control MacsFanControl.exe ' /minimized' 'BootCampFanControl'=' 'C: Program Files Macs Fan Control MacsFanControl.exe ' /minimized' I suppose this relates to a name change in the versions of MFC. I have installed the first version of MFC and upgraded with every new beta version without uninstalling the previous one I have deleted the MacsfanControl key which seems not to be used anymore (BootCampFanControl is deleted/created when toggling the autostart option).
Still the same issue. Should I do a clean uninstall then reinstall and how to proceed? Hi Steven Some investigation regarding inpout32. I have upgraded from the version you use (1.2) to the latest available (1.5) on. I did it the following way: - enable the 'autostart minimzed with system' MFC option then quit MFC - replace the dll by the new one in the MFC program directory - delete the.sys driver file in the /windows/systems32/driver directory which is installed the first time the dll is launched On the next reboot, everything is fine: driver is reinstalled and MFC is activated. Shutdown and next reboot brings the error message and MFC is not lauched.
On the first time, the driver is installed and loaded before the dll is invoked. For the following runs, there might no reason that the legacy inpout32 driver is fully loaded when MFC autostarts. My iMac is not brand new and the boot process is quite long which can enforce such issues. Kind regards.
