[Solved] Multiple monitor problems.

Post by Bacu »

Putting a meter on the not-main screen and refreshing makes it jump back to 0,0 on the main screen. What do?

Which version of Rainmeter are you using??

There have been major improvements to multimonitor support in the 1.2 beta versions.

Ok thats strange, is rainmeter installed in the default location??

Also, check the log to see whether rainmeter.ini is writable. It should be in the 5th line of the log after you start rainmeter. To enable the log you need to right click on the tray icon, select "Show log file" and when it asks you to create the files say yes. Once you have done this restart rainmeter and select "show log file" again.

Default install location, log says rainmeter.ini is writable.
