Rainmeter not working

Post by XAJIEPA »

Hi, I just got Rainmeter today and I was installing skins (https://www.mediafire.com/?i3qc7elvqyplrzn) and the such. Then I tried to open Rainmeter but it wouldn't. None of the applications will show up. I tried uninstalling it then re-installing, but it wouldn't work. I spent a few hours trying to get this to show up and nothing happened. Please help.

Don't know, because I succeeded installing the skin and could activate more skins of the suite. Didn't try each of them, because there are too many, but a few I tried are working.
Try the followings:
  • Check to have Rainmeter closed. See if Rainmeter icon is present in the Notification Area. If it is there, right click it and click Exit.
    Hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click Rainmeter in the Start menu. This way you launch Rainmeter in safe mode, which means only the default illustro skins are activating when Rainmeter starts. Does Rainmeter start up normaly this way?
  • If it does, try activating some of the skins of the suite. Are they activating? I tried the following skins and they did work:
    • Skins\Animus-WhiteRoom\Time and Date\Time.ini.
    • Skins\Animus-WhiteRoom\HDDs\HD_C\HD_C.ini and Skins\Animus-WhiteRoom\HDDs\HD_D\HD_D.ini.
    • Skins\Animus-WhiteRoom\RAM-CPU\CPU\CPU.ini.
    • Skins\Animus-WhiteRoom\Icons\Local Folders\Downloads\Downloads.ini.
    Most probably these skins should work for you as well. Are they?
  • Try activating other skins as well. If at a moment you gat Rainmeter crashing, post here which was the last activated skin, to can get a look.
Another thing you might want to try is a clean uninstall of Rainmeter. If you do try this, install the linked suite once again after you get Rainmeter reinstalled.
Does any of these help?
