    Does any body know if I can control my cooling fan on my laptop computer manually because it does not seem to work auto. when it hits the right temp. I want to test it. If I can’t do it in VB. Can I do that in another language?

      You could try a non-virtual language like "resistor, +5V, voila!". Other than that you can only (with some motherboards) observe its behaviour, which I regard a good thing. Imagine any program that could access (stop) the CPU fan and burn another Athlon? :-)

        Think you Mike Nordell wrote: Imagine any program that could access (stop) the CPU fan and burn another Athlon? Your right that would be bad.
