Because I'm running a Thinkpad that uses its own WiFi manager (the drivers are out of Windows' control), the only way I can get wireless info into rainmeter is with WirelessInfo. I've been running it for a long time, it's been fine.
I know, I know: it's deprecated now. But I can't get the data I need with WiFiStatus.
Now with v1.0 and 1.1 of Rainmeter, it seems that WirelessInfo crashes things pretty regularly. It's worst right after startup: it may crash within 3 seconds. Doesn't seem to matter which individual item I'm interrogating -- even something as innocent as SSID takes the tool down.
Anybody else seeing this?
