    Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a conky like program for vista?

    The only thing that comes to mind is the windows sidebar...but I would rather like something more lightweight and less annoying :D

    Thx

    wth? I cant seem to create any text files in anything in the C partition...right click -> new only gives option of a folder.

    wth?? i have never encountered this before...

    everywhere else on my computer i can right click -> new and it gives me many options, like a text file.

    i thought that maybe its because its set to "read only"...i tried turning that off but it wont turn off. plus my D parition is also set to read only and i can create things there...

    i seem to be able to install new programs fine on the C partition...i just can manually create anything but a folder?? whats up? this has NEVER happened to me before.

    i have been using ubuntu for about 2 weeks, so i keep thinking "sudo" and "gedit" but i dont recall vista ever having to do something like that...o_o

    ignore that last thread, its fixed.

    is there any other program besides rainmeter? it doesnt seem to be able to monitor temps on vista...which is one of the main things i wanted.
