  1. I've had this before and it's a great gadget. I had to wipe my pc and reinstall. However, when I install the gadget and it pops up, it won't show the temp. When I click the settings, no driver is installed. How do I get the WinRing0 Driver? I can't click on neither the "Install" button or "Uninstall". Please help and thank you!
