Process Plugin and Administrator Privileges

[jsmorley]

In that case, it might not be a bad idea to include this info in the Manual.

Done.

Process plugin does not work. Then no matter what I enter at ProcessName=.... , it is not changeable. For Rainmeter / over / skins is value -1 always there no matter what I enter the process. Please help.

[MeasureProcess]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Process
ProcessName=explorer.exe
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!SetOption MeterProcess Text "Running"
IfBelowValue=0
IfBelowAction=!SetOption MeterProcess Text "Not Running"

[MeterProcess]
Meter=String
FontSize=11
X=1220
Y=10
FontColor=255,255,255,255
StringStyle=Bold
AntiAlias=1

Your skin exactly as it is works fine for me and displays "Running" just fine.

I suspect the issue is user account based. If you installed Rainmeter for a specific user, and the process (like Explorer.exe) is not the user account that started it, UAC can prevent you accessing the properties of that process. You can try setting the icon for Rainmeter in the Startup folder to "Run as administrator" and see if that fixes it.

UAC is disabled, because I hate uac.
it may be that X86 and X64 can also make problems?
For example, OS x64, x86 progam and x86 Rainmeter ?
because opera works, K10stat works and explorer works not.

I found the error:
If Rainmeter is x86, then go only X86 processes.
If Rainmeter is x64, then go only X64 processes.

can you modify that??
