Click Start, type cmd right click cmd.exe, and select Run as administrator.
At the prompt, type lodctr /r and press ENTER. This will repair the pointers (those are stored in the registry).


C:\Windows\system32>lodctr /r

Info: Successfully rebuilt performance counter setting from system backup store


After this action it is possible that some providers are disabled. You can check the status with lodctr /q.

C:\Windows\system32>lodctr /q

If it says (Disabled) next to a provider, you can enable it with lodctr /e:. Use for the string between the [ ] at the beginning  of the entry.

Rainmeter does not have any dependencies on .Net. There were changes to the InputText plugin in Rainmeter 3.0 that caused this skin to freeze Rainmeter upon trying to change the drive letter. I've bypassed this with FocusDismiss=0, but it makes the interface touchy.

How do I have multiple of these on the desktop so that I can have one for separate drives?

Just duplicate the skin's folder in Documents\Rainmeter\Skins, refresh Rainmeter, and look in the right click menu.

Well, that's all I can think of for this theme, hardly enough for a suite. Do you have any ideas?
