.
It occurs very rarely (once in several days) and i don't exactly know when and why. And after it everything seems work fine.

Could you try turning on debug mode? That particular piece of code logs some extra information only when debug is active.

If the error happens again while you have debug mode on, could you post that extra information?

Thanks!

Hi Brian. Yes, i can and i did it right away and after a few hours of using the plugin i had "luck" that the error occured again, but with different skin, "TOP RAM".

Here is what the debug says about it:

ERRO (15:38:25.641) RainformerHWi\TopProcesses\TopRAM\TopRAM.ini - [MeasureTop2RAM]: UsageMonitor crashed trying to return the new String value of this measure
DBUG (15:38:25.642) : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
DBUG (15:38:25.670) : at UsageMonitor.Plugin.GetString(IntPtr data).

Seems that it can affect any of the measures from [MeasureTop1RAM] - [MeasureTop10RAM]. The same could be with TopCPU and probably TopGPU, but i've hardly ever used the skin to be sure. I won't guess in fact.

one more error, now "Top CPU" skin and again the [MeasureTop5CPU] measure:

ERRO (20:59:22.823) RainformerHWi\TopProcesses\TopCPU\TopCPU.ini - [MeasureTop5CPU]: UsageMonitor crashed trying to update this measure
DBUG (20:59:22.825) : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
DBUG (20:59:22.836) : at UsageMonitor.Plugin.Update(IntPtr data)

You will notice the difference between the description of the two errors:

1. UsageMonitor.Plugin.GetString(IntPtr data)
2. UsageMonitor.Plugin.Update(IntPtr data)

if you're still testing it, have you gotten any error so far?

Unfortunately in meantime I loaded a layout, so, no. I'm sorry, but don't test it anymore. But will load it again.
Sorry I forgot it in meantime (yes, sometimes I'm a little bit forgetful...).

you probably don't have to do it. What i've provided could be enough.

Yes, but question is if others encounter the same errors. So far I didn't...

I did experience UsageMonitor crashes in the past, but the error messages appeared in the Windows Event Viewer, and weren't related (as far as the message was about) to string values. Nowadays they don't seem to happen anymore for me.

Another thing that happens sometimes with UsageMonitor is that it - very quickly - reports a number (and not the name of a process) on a skin's first load. This one, although it still happens, does so very rarely.

Just trying out the "Top CPU" skin of Rainformer HWiNFO Edition 2.9 suite and so far the error didn't happen. Will let it run through the night and see if it occurs though.
