Thank you very much for the info. So could I be able to fix this myself by somehow using Measure_swapmemory - Measure_RAM? I can't try and don't know the right commands now cause I'm not at home.Chewtoy wrote: This is a known 'thing' (as it's not really a bug). Every systemmonotoring tool out there reads the same thing. Even Everest (which is sort of the Rolls Royce of monotoring) reads it like that.
Before the 2.0 release we talked about that, if we were going to change it. But seeing how everyone does it like that we were sort of confused about the whole thing and pretty much decided that if everyone does it like that - there has to be some good reason for it.
And it's not reallt SWAP we are measuring, it's virtual memory, even if the name of the measure is SwapMemory.
Anyhow, this is a known thing and we decided to keep it as is due to the number of skins that have used it like it is (it has been like this since the start of Rainmeter) and because it's always been like this. It's very annoying, I agree, but that's how it is atm anyhow.

Firstly - excellent skin thank you!
Secondly - for some reason on my Windows 7 Home Premium x64Bit Machine with an Intel Core i7 860 4 core Hyper threaded (8 core visible) x 2.80GHz machine I had to modify the ini file before your skin would see my CPU %

I really don't have a clue why (unless it is a change with the new Beta version of Rainmeter) - but it works now!

Re: ForceX System Monitor v2.2.0(Mar-20-2011)
Hello, first a big thank you for this great work
But unfortunately, the skin do not works for me properly.
The cpu meter is always 100%. HDD graph show unfortunately nothing. The mhz of my cpu is not correct. Process and top process dont working. see the picture
I think that the perfmon.dll not working properly.
System:
Win Vista 64 ultimate
AMD Phenom Quad-Core Processor 2.30 GHz
can someone help me please

Re: ForceX System Monitor v2.2.0(Mar-20-2011)
The post above yours seems to answer the CPU problem.
You need to have Speedfan running for the temps to work, you need to set the right variables in the setting file iirc.
You will also need to edit the variables for the hard drives so they reflect you actual drive letters of you system.
it will be something LIKE:

Re: ForceX System Monitor v2.2.0(Mar-20-2011)
hello and thanks,
but my problem is not the cpu or hdd temp, if you see the pic, temps are working
Speedfan is still running
but the cpu core meters core 1-4 dont working they shows always 100%, hdd graph read/write dont working und the cpu mhz is wrong. Process and top process dont working
see the pic

It works out of the box for me, are you picking the version which matches your machine's Cores & Hard drives?Psicrow wrote:but the cpu core meters core 1-4 dont working they shows always 100%, hdd graph read/write dont working und the cpu mhz is wrong.

If correct and still a problem with CPU MHz, it might make sense to edit the skin (right click "Edit skin" and replace:
Code: Select all
[Mse_CPUMHz]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\PowerPlugin.dll
PowerState=MHZ
Code: Select all
[Mse_CPUMHz]
Measure=CPU
Processor=0
Code: Select all
[Mse_Core_1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\PerfMon.dll
PerfMonObject="Processor"
PerfMonInstance=0
PerfMonCounter="% Processor Time"
PerfMonDifference=1
InvertMeasure=1
Code: Select all
[Mse_Core_1]
Measure=CPU
Processor=1
Hard Drives:
You need to EDIT Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\ForceX and edit FXSM_V2_Settings.inc
With the right hard drive details for your machine as you appear to have no less than 7. I previously gave an example, however they are:
Code: Select all
Drive1=C:
Drive2=D:
Drive3=G:
Drive4=I:
Drive5=J:
Drive6=E:
Drive7=F:

hello and thank you thank you thank you
the cpu meters are now working properly and are properly displayed mhz
But the HDD graph for read and write accesses Still not working and the Process and top process dont working ?
maybe the perfmon.dll works not correct just like the cpu meter.
the HDD graph for read and write accesses get info from perfmon.dll and i think, the perfmon.dll dont work?
[Mse_Drive2Access]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\PerfMon.dll

Using your example, this should work:

Again, you need to work through all of your drives, suggest you test this on C: FIRST.
Replace:

Re: ForceX System Monitor v2.2.0(Mar-20-2011)
You've tried reading/writing a big file to C: to make graph move? As I mentioned earlier the graph for C: for me worked without any changes to the skin at all...
