PC Wizard (CPUID) shuts down after a few min


Question

Using latest PC Wizard 2010.1.961 in Vista x64. It starts fine (run as admin), detects hardware & info OK, but automatically closes after maybe 5 min.

It's like it has a timer. I can be viewing the screens & it will close, or it can be minimized to tray.

Never any error msgs. It does create a log (in debug mode) - nothing in it indicating problem. Looked in event viewer - nothing about it.

I can't actually see 100% of the settings window - must be my font settings. Doubt it has a "close after x minutes" setting.

Downloaded the file again - compared them - identical. Uninstalled / reinstalled it - no change.

Ran it w/o installing it (from zip file) - no change. Still shuts down after same approx. time.

All other software from CPUID works OK - HW Monitor, CPU-Z.

I contacted authors by email listed on their site - no reply in weeks. AFAIK, they have no users forum.

Any ideas?

Long shot but might be worth running Process Monitor (from www.sysinternals.com) against the application when it closes to see what is happening under-the-hood?
