You are running one or more 32bit plugins with 64bit Rainmeter or visa versa...

where is the exact path that you placed the plugin?

And Morley is probably correct seeing as how hes a developer =D but it never hurts to verify that you placed the various parts of the skin in their proper locations
I have three rules when I'm trying to help you.
  • Don't get mad when you don't understand something
  • Be VERY specific with what you ask for.
    The more specific you are, the higher the quality of support you receive.
  • Do not just copy and paste what I put in examples and come back saying it doesn't work.
    It does work, but I purposely left blanks that you need to fill for your specific needs.

Hehe okay, I think i see the problem. Would you mind uploading that ini in a zip (this site doesn't allow .ini)

I'm thinking that the path name in the skin is wrong. If you look at your screenshot, the error says C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Plugins\..\Plugins\WifiStatus.dll. I want to look at the ini to make sure that its calling the proper path for the plugin.

In theory that path is technically correct and should work, but it's worth double checking.

I still think some skin he has downloaded has a 32bit plugin included, and he is running 64bit Rainmeter. He really needs to start removing skins and restarting Rainmeter til he finds it.
