Sysstats No Meters listed-Vista Problems

Objectdock+ Vista Sysstats Problems

from WinCustomize Forums
I just installed OD+ on my Vista 32Ultimate laptop. I installed sysstats and CPU history..All was good. Installed Wifi info, and no go....so I started messing around with permisions and ownership of the OD+ install folder, now CPU history is broke, always says -1. When I go into configure the meter, there are no meters listed to choose from...no network, no memory, etc. Can anybody help me? Tried clearing cache, and uninstall and reinstall. No joy.

From what I just read somewhere in a news post...the meters and stuff don't work in Vista because something was changed in the OS that just doesn't work with them. I think it was an article Brad posted.

Thanks Bebi. Are there plans to fix it? I like my Sidebar, but OD+ had much more functionality and customization.

Ok, uninstall, clear cache, delete program folder, reinstall. Right click OD.exe set compatibility to xpsp2, and run as administrator.

Now CPU history runs great, but battery and Wifi, no go.

When I looked at my old XP laptop, battery was using a Battery Meter Class, ....that is not even listed in Vista.

Wifi uses a vbs script and the objWMIService.ExecQuery doesn't appear to be workable in Vista, any ideas or help?

I still can't figure out the Wifi or the Battery meters. Apparently, the meter functions/calls have changed in Vista. Does anybody have a Wifi or battery meter running in systats on Vista?
