Would it be possible for you to join our IRC channel at some point? It would be much easier to debug your issue there. If you can, which timezone are you in and what time could you make it (I'm in GMT+2 myself)?

To debug this issue, please follow the instructions below carefully.
  • First, open the Start menuRun → type in drwtsn32.exe and click OK. Make sure the following options are set:

    Then, copy the Log File Path and open the Dr Watson folder (keep this folder open until the end of this message). If you have the drwtsn32.log or user.dmp files in the Dr Watson folder, remove them.

    Click OK to close the drwtsn32.exe application.
  • Now, download RainmeterTest.zip and extract it somewhere (e.g. to your desktop). Run Rainmeter.exe. After it crashes, you will have the drwtsn32.log and user.dmp files in the Dr Watson folder.

    You must upload these files somewhere (e.g. http://www.sendspace.com/) and post the link here.
Thanks! :)
