my sisoft sandra cannot run.. when i double click the icon, nothing happens.. why??

yup having the same prob as u

Try uninstall the software, clean your pc cookies by using Ccleaner, then re-download SiSoftware the files and install... Working?

Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and see if SiSoftSandra is running in background or not. If yes, terminate process and try again.

If not, no luck, I don't know what happened.

lol..will try again and see..

lol..still cannot..task manager pun takder..

Huh?

Sometimes SANDRA wun run bcoz dat some s/w libraries of yr Win need 2 be updated, version prob. be it d O/S or SANDRA, proprietary BIOS etc.

Let us know d ver. of SANDRA u r using, yr CPU/mobo specs., O/S etc.

lol.. its da latest.. ix or something like that..

I assume dat u r using d PC as in yr sig.

I'd suspect dat yr nVIDIA Firewall is blocking SANDRA from acquiring h/w & network info. from d sys. thus causing SANDRA 2 wait indefinitely (not responding)...

Try ending d suspended SANDRA thread(s), disable yr firewall temporarily & relaunch SANDRA again.

lol..home pc got zone alarm..will try..can i give exceptions??

Most probably is the usage of SiSoft Sandra was expired.. since it's just for trial

Then your trial probably expired just fru!tlo0p said above...

Log seems clean. I must have misinterpreted your sentence just now... *paiseh*

Btw, u might want to look for some free substitutes such as Aida, Everest, Cpu-z and some sort of that....

Errr... is the program useful for beginners like me ??

why eh.? same problem..countless time install but in the end stuck with nothing..sandra won't run at all..geezz

Yup, if you know well use registry to modify, you can del the key, then you can have back trial one...

If you DL from Guru3D, that one got problem. DL from somewhere else like "www.download.com".
