FAQ - MBM
MBM can show 3 sensors but I only get a good reading
from 2 (winbond 1 and winbond 2 - P2), when I try the 3rd (winbond
3) I get nothing or some way weird number
You might need to buy or create a thermal sensor,
which you then have to connect to your board, check your board
manual for a connector, if there is on then either buy a thermal
probe or create one with the help from virtualhideout,
who have this site: http://www.virtualhideout.net/guides/thermistor/index.shtml
I have the option to select 1 normal sensor and 1
sensor with the same name but the word diode behind it (for
example: Winbond 2 vs Winbond 2 Diode) but I can not select both
!!!?? And to make it worse, both show totally diffrent values !!
Some sensor chip support input from either a diode (in
the cpu most of the time) or a thermal sensor (normal temp sensor
outside the cpu), they don't accept 1 sensor to be both, which
makes good sence if you think about it. So that is the reason why
you can't select both types from that same temperature chanel on
the sensor chip. The fact that both show diffrent values simply
is a fact that the value returned from -for example- needs to be
manipulated diffrently by the sensor chip then that returned by a
thermal sensor. So selecting the wrong sensor type for a
temperature chanel will result in a wrong value

9 out of 10 times this is because you didn't enter
the correct settings or select the correct authentication, please
check with your ISP to be sure you have everything filled in
correctly
In MBM 4 I had much more control over the windows
true type font that I used to display in the system tray, I want
this also in MBM 5
The support in MBM 5 for this feature is limited and
will not be extended, you are recommended to use the build in
font
I downloaded extra languages but they do not show up
Make sure the languages you downloaded are for the
same version of MBM 5 that you are using, each new version of MBM
5 has new features and thus to make sure you get no weird
problems this means that old language files do not show up
MBM does not autostart all the time eventhough I
have it turned on
Because of some weird reason this seems to happen if
you had MBM 4 installed before (or still have) and you had it set
to autostart as well. The answer is very simple, turn the
autostart of in MBM 4. If you no longer have MBM 4 installed then
you can edit the registry (at your own risk) and
delete the MBM 4 key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Do I need to uninstall MBM each time before I
upgrade
No, simply close MBM and then install over the
current installed version, your settings will be kept
I can not select SHDN now in the alarm section for
each Sensor
Shutdown now is a program you need to download (http://www.dworld.de/) and install, in some cases MBM might not detect
SHDN after it has been installed, if this is the case then simply
close MBM, run SHDN once and close it again. Then start MBM. You
can see in the MBM system info -at the bottom- if SHDN is
detected.
