[Solved] Links wont open in Google Chrome

[alcangel_neal]

Ok,so I'm fairly new to Rainmeter, but I'm learning quickly, or so I thought. Made a new skin on my netbook running Rainmeter 2.3.3 with windows 7 32bit, all links set as below, and they worked! Fantastic! Now, I copied the skin to my pc running rainmeter 2.3.1 with win 7 64bit... nothing, or so I thought, the links appear to work if i have my chrome browser open already, otherwise it opens the browser, tells me its loading and does nothing... as I said, the code below is from memory, not copy pasted, so please excuse spelling, and the code ran fine on my 32 bit Samsung NC10 netbook, but not on mine or my brothers 64 bit pcs.

Code: Select all

[Variables]

@include=#SKINSPATH#\Minecraft-Beta\Config.ini

;Other stuff

[T1]
Meter=Image
ImageName=Gmail.png
x=7r
y=39
W=30
H=28
Antialias=1
Hidden=1
LeftMouseUpAction= !Execute ["#LCP1#"]

;From config.ini

LCT1=G#CRLF#Mail
LCP1=https://mail.google.com/mail/ca/
 

I have since tried default skins such as ilustro, and have now noticed that this seems to be happening on every skin with 90% of links, not all https either. I also had a search function added:

Code: Select all

[SearchInput]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=InputText.dll
SolidColor=139,139,139
FontFace=Minecarft
FontSize=12
x=130
y=115
w=300
h=20
FocusDismiss=1
DefaultValue=""
Command1=!Execute ["http://www.google.com/search?q=$UserInput$"]
UpdateDivider=86400

This function doesn't appear to work on the 64 bit pcs either unless google chrome is running!

Cheers in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this :/

I wish we could help you, but this sounds more like a problem with Chrome than with Rainmeter. I would check your settings to make sure Chrome is your default Windows browser; try disabling extensions to see if one of them is interfering with links; or, if all else fails, reinstall Chrome.

Sorry about the delayed response. Been making the most of the "good" weather and been doing outdoor jobs. You are completely correct, turns out its a Google Chrome plugin called hover zoom, deactivated it and everything works fine. I've reported the bug to the developer of the app. Thanks for the response non-the-less
P.s. I love rainmeter, thank you for all the work you lot have put into it!

Glad you figured it out. :)
