Thanks K. That seems to have done it. I must have associated the wrong script.exe

If all is well tomorrow I'll get back and say.

Now the meter doesn't update unless I refresh the skin. Hmmm!

Any ideas?

After refresh of skin update is now functioning. And that seems to be that.

Thanks K. Appreciated.

Is this still working? I have downloaded it, installed it as per instructions and run the usage.vbs script no dramas. All I get is a blank skin and an error file that contains:

Bad Read - https://my.bigpond.com/mybigpond/myaccount/myusage/daily/default.do
Error Code: K9-1

The username is entered as <username>@bigpond.com, password is correct. I can log into the Bigpond site manually and check the usage but it appears to fail with this Rainmeter skin.

Any thoughts on this Kanine? I'm just unsure what to check next.

I think this program is really a Beta version and I have no business using it.

Since the above I have also had FF auto starting on restart, USB no longer being assigned a drive so I can't get into them. I didn't want to test any more, haven't the time or knowhow.

Thanks for your work anyway m8.

I'm still using this meter, and it's working (at least for me) at the moment. What is the issue that you're having?

This has reminded me to say Thank You for this fine work Kanine.
I too have been running this meter for many months without problems.

Glad to hear you're finding it useful.

I think most of the issues people have come from the multitude of billing systems that Telstra seem to have. There are two versions available from the script site. The latest 0.3 should be compatible with the newest iteration. But some people are still working fine on the 0.2b release. Naturally it's near impossible for me to test anything apart from my own account.
