Problem in Windows7

Post by desho »

hi.
My OS is Windows7 Ultimate 64bits, and the problem that I have is that rainmeter doesnt work. when I activate it, only appears the icon in the systray, but nothing else happens, no menus, no options, nothing in the desktop. I unnistall al clean the registry, turn off the firewall and nothing happens.
I love this program.

anyone?

thanks!

Right-click the icon in the tray and navigate to "Configs" to launch skins. The "Manage Skins" option will launch RainBrowser, which is the easiest way to go through your installed skins and start them.

99% chance it is a conflict with your antivirus. If you are using ESET NOD32 in particular it seems to cripple Rainmeter unless you put in an exception for Rainmeter.exe

I don't use ESET, but I think you want to put *\Rainmeter.exe as the exception.

jsmorley.
i read the solution you gave to another user ( Viralz ) and now rainmeter works fine.

the solution is put appdata\rainmeter and programfiles\rainmeter in an exception

thanks!
