You're telling me :)
I'm running it in an administrator account but not as administrator. When I ran
it as administrator I got both temps. But only the HDD temp shows in the task
bar, the core temp does not.

The administrator account by default has UAC turned off. Maybe that's what 
you mean, or maybe that's info new to you, but I suspect it's the explanation.

I think the task bar only shows one temperature, and it's set with a 
checkmark somewhere in the UI that says which it shows. As long as you see 
it on the full window, it's being monitored.  (Same with the fan speed, if 
you display that instead.)

I have the UAC turned on, on this administrator account I meant that by
selecting the program from the start menu, right clicking and selecting "Run as
administrator"

I could not find that checkmark.

I cannot see the fan speed at all, at all.

No big deal.

I see. As I understand it, that doesn't actually log you on as 
administrator. Instead, when you log into an account in the Administrators 
group, you get two logins: one with admin privs, one without. The "run as 
administrator" means "run with admin privs", not "run under the account 
named Administrator".  The account with the name "Administrator" is by 
default configured to launch every process with administrative privs.

> I could not find that checkmark.

I fear I have retired all the machines with that installed, or I'd fire one 
up and see if I can find it. Sorry.

> I cannot see the fan speed at all, at all.

Probably not monitored, then.

OK, well each to their own. It's a free country. ;-)

Why bother? It's just the standard grey and black.
