    I tried to put it on my system, but it seems to freeze my notebook every time. I don't know why. The program doesn't seem to be a highly intensive program to run.

    Anyone else have issues with Rainmeter or is it just me?

    No problems here.

    Generic questions:
    What BIOS do you have?
    What vBIOS do you have?
    Have you run a clean install?
    When exactly does it freeze?

    BIOS 213
    VBIOS 012.020.000.032.038352

    Clean install of what? Rainmeter? Windows 7?

    And It freezes after it fully loads. It works for a while, but then it'll lock up randomly. It doesn't seem to have any correlation to the # of programs within Rainmeter open as I have closed down some of the windows and it still seems to lock up.

    It worked fine for me while I used it.

    Yeah a clean install of Windows, there must be some conflicting program or something. Before anything, try a different skin with Rainmeter.

    lol I think I'll pass on a clean install of Windows. I have a lot of stuff on here that I don't want to download again. I'll have to play around with Rainmeter a bit to see what causes the problem.

    No. My notebook is only 5 months old. I never had the need to do a fresh install.
