Thanks for the help, Adrien - and apologies for the delay in replying.
I have had a quick look at Speed Fan and will give it a try sometime. I
may also contact you off list later if I decide to take advantage of your offer
of the other program you mention.
I now remember that the software I used to have on an old desk top was
SISoft Sandra - it gave a great deal of information about the system
including temperatures.
Actually this present laptop does not seem to overheat unless I use it for
very long periods, but I have a new one on order which has a much more
powerful processor. I am wondering whether overheating may be more of
a problem for the latter and monitoring the temperature may become more
important.
