    Hello all i just recently starting using a few tools such as rainmeter and rocketdock. Im having some trouble with rainmeter.

    The first thing is that on boot up i have a bunch of error messages pop up, i didnt make a log of them this time unfortunately as im guessing anyone familiar with coding the skins would need to see in order to tell me how to correct them.

    The second i have a skin called steam wheel which lookes as though its a launcher of sorts, but im not sure how to configure the buttons to the actual programs they should be associated with

    and last, My CPU activity monitors never show the temp they always just stay locked at 0 degrees c, what do i need to change to fix this?

    This would probably be better asked on Rainmeter's forum itself, as the error messages are usually specific to certain parts of the code that need to be changed to fit your computer specifically. The steam wheel skin might have a launcher of sorts to put in the programs, otherwise you have to put the program path into the skin by manually editing it.

    The CPU temp on the other hand, typically relies on SpeedFan to get the temp, so without it there is nothing reported.
