I see "No WMI info" string in Drives Monitor. What wrong? If you see error message: "No WMI info" it mean that base
performance counters on your system corrupted for any reason. For fix this
do follow:
Solution 1. 1. Click Start, expand All Programs, and expand Accessories. 2. Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. 3. At the command prompt, type lodctr /r, and then press ENTER.
Solution 2. These counters can be disabled in the registry. Just set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Perfdisk\Performance\Disable Performance Counters to 0 and reboot. Some details see
here
I see "no connected device" in Network Monitor II interface for monitoring. How I can fix this? Most likely the performance counters are turned off. There are a few ways to turn these back on
including the registry editor. Easiest way however is the following: 1. Download and install the following program: http://download.microsoft.com/download/win2000platform/exctrlst/1.00.0.1/nt5/en-us/exctrlst_setup.exe 2. Run the program installed and it will bring up a list. 3. Search through the list looking for anything to do with the network options. The most likely one you are looking for is TCP/IP. 4. Select this up and then look at the bottom to see if it is enabled (will have a tick in the check box). If not then tick
the checkbox and exit the program. 5. Shutdown and restart the computer.
I see "A semi colon character was expected"
string in BOINC Monitor. Why? If you see error message: "A semi colon character
was expected" it connected with client_state.xml problem is that it contains non-ASCII
characters (>127). Error appear when you abort some WU or BOINC detect
"calculate error". I ask developer Dr. David Anderson about that. His
answer: I made the fix but it won't appear until the next client release.
For fix error now try go to BOINC and press Project -> Update button. Then
in most cases error disappear and gadget works property. This error fixed in
BOINC version 6.12.28 or later.
I change gadget's size or/and other settings and after that gadgets are in size 1 and I can't change them.
When I try enter right size nothing happened. Some fields in settings are blank. Can I do something? It connected with wrong Windows Sidebar's settings file
(sometimes this file writes wrong). To fix this do follow: 1. Close Sidebar or restart Windows in a safe mode. 2. Go to the folder %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar 3. Delete file Settings.ini 4. Run Sidebar or restart Windows.
Upgrading older version of some gadgets. When I try to install, I'm asked if I want to upgrade,
but new version never shows as installed. How I can upgrade my gadget with new version?
It may cause with System Monitor II, Network Monitor II, Mouse Monitor, Keyboard Monitor and GPU Monitor.

I want to reinstall my Windows. Where I can find gadget's settings files? Gadgets save settings into special
*.ini files. Each gadget use individual ini-file.
You can find this file in folder %AppData%. Files have names
GadgetName_Settings.ini
