Hello.
me, the one I want is the analog clock, not the digital one!
so in the INI file there is something wrong, but what?
see you.

Hi Philumax,
Sorry you are having troubles! This is a very odd problem, I'm not sure how it happens. Try the following steps:

1. Close Rainmeter if is it running.
2. Open the file C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.ini using Notepad.
3. Search for the section [Gadgets\Chronometer]. Under that item, find the line Active=1 and change it to Active=0. This will stop the clock from loading.
4. Run Rainmeter and confirm it is running OK (the clock will not be loaded, but don't load it yet!).
5. Open the file C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Gadgets\@Resources\ChronometerVariables.inc with Notepad.
6. Find the variable DisableLocale and set it to 1, so it should be: DisableLocale=1.
7. Find the variable LocaleName and set it to "fr-FR", so it should be: LocaleName="fr-FR". (I think you are in France, correct?)
8. Now enable the Analog Clock Gadget. It should work fine now.

Let me know if you want to use the digital clock.

Hello.
thank you.
I'll stick to it, right away.
no, the digital clock is not of interest to me.
it's funny, because I've always had digital watches ...
see you.

For some reason the Drives Meter is now displaying 100% utilization on all my drives even though there is no activity. This started a couple of days ago. Any idea as to why? Or what I can do to fix it?

Hello.
Try to reinstall the gadgets. It's the most simple.si it doesn't work, restart. you should know the version of rainmeter AND the version of the gadget used.
See you.

Reinstalling is the first thing I tried. Didn't work.

Versions:
Rainmeter: 4.3.1.3321
Addgadget: 5.5.1

This is on Windows 10 v2004. If it helps, I noticed this after a series of Windows crashes caused by a game (Subnautica) which apparently has some nasty graphics glitches. Checked all drives for errors and got none so I have no idea what's going on.

I'd like to try completely removing all references to AddGadgets and do a clean install but I don't know where all the various Addgagdet files live. Removing the skins folder doesn't apparently remove everything because, upon re-installing, my customizations (like choosing Fahrenheit instead of Celsius) were preserved.

Try these steps. It sounds like the perfmon database was corrupted.
