Hello, I need advise on the software to use to write a mini program which can be used to monitor the CPU temperature of a computer. The program to be written will also need to control the fan speed whenever needed. Which among the following can be used to interact with such hardware: Visual Basic (I've got Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Express), Java, Delphi, or any other???

You can use visual studio to develop your software :

What do you mean 'interact' ?

I meant to control the hardware, example to increase fan speed if temperature is above a specified value, and to decrease it if temperature is not high etc

Apart from VS, any other software from my initial mentioned list to do such an app?

The others you mention are programming language. I guess any language is possible, provided that u know the necessary libraries
