Major N00b Question.

[MythMcKlean]

Hey all.

I am new to using Rainmeter, just downloaded it a couple of hours ago. I started fiddiling with the settings and read the 101 guide and was going to start off small using the "turorial" system monitor.

My problem is this. I have everything working right up to where it is supposed to display how much RAM and SWAP is. I have copied the text over from the 101 page. I have checked the .ini several times against what the page has said it should read. It all matches perfectly. Yet when I try to start it I get an error message.

Rainmeter
The Meter [MeterRAMText] cannot be bound with [MeasureRAM]!

and

Rainmeter
The Meter [MeterRAMBar] cannot be bound with [MeasureRam]!

I have read this page http://rainmeter.net/cms/Rainmeter101-Tutorial1 enough to know that this should work.

I dont know what else to do.

I can post my code if it will help.

Thanks

It's late here and I will answer quickly, without a lot of thinking. It seems that there is a problem with the "MeasureNames" in both [MeterRAMText] and [MeterRAMBar]. Probably the name [MeasureRam] is not spelled correctly somewhere (and it can't be found). Posting your code will surely help finding where the problem is.

Here's one problem. [MeasureRAM] is spelled wrong. Well, you can't really spell a measure name wrong, but it's inconsistent with the meters that your binding it with.

[KreAch3R]

It's probably the problem. Try fixing that, chances are there will be no errors.

Thank you. I see what I did and how I overlooked it. I appreciate the help you all have been.

No problem! Feel free to ask any questions you have here, anytime.
