Multiple instances of Macs Fan Control in system tray

[Rodan]

Hi,
Whenever I start up windows now, there are always two instances of Macs Fan Control in the system tray, and I have to manually quit one. This seems to cause a system crash if I suspend, so that's why I kill the second process. Uninstalling Macs Fan Control doesn't seem to fix it, so I'm guessing it's a registry entry somewhere? Techical info below... Thanks,




Macs Fan Control 1.1.12.2, MacBookPro9,1, Windows 7

I tried to attach the html file, but it wouldn't let me, so here's a copy paste. It's strange that, although Macs Fan Control is running, it's not in this list?

Are both icons in system tray working? I mean are there really 2 processes "MacsFanControl.exe" running?

[Rodan]

That's correct. I just habitually go to the system tray, right click, and close one of them on every system startup. Thought I'd finally send a message about it

[Rodan]

I have attached 2 pictures, one that shows the system processes, where you can see the 2 instances of Macs Fan Control, and the other showing the 2 icons for Macs Fan Control in the system tray. Any ideas? Thanks,

[Steven]

Thanks for pictures. Actually I have only one idea.
