    1. How do add this to list of programs to start up, its annoying having to click on it everytime after start-up?

    2. does anyone know the pop3 server address for hotmail so that my rainmeter can notify me when i have e-mail?

    Thanks.

    no its not for checking rain fall :D

    it shows system stats, like how much ram, cpu ect you are using as well having a calender - you should check it it out many different plugins for it

    no its miles betetr then windows sidebar - you can move the items anywhere on the screen and it uses a lot less memory then the sidebar - my sidebar was uses like 30Mb without anything being in it, but rainmeter uses like 5mb

    i have the newest version and i have not had any trouble runs perfect
    there are so many different add - ons it would be best if you went and searched for you self there are so many im using H U D, it has MANY options but i only have:

    Battery
    Cpu
    Cpu1
    Cpu2
    Ram

    heres a link to the H U D add - on, and i think it might be an update of the version i have :( but ill get it tomorrow when i get my laptop back :D

    Try sticking a shortcut of the .exe into your startup folder in the start menu to make it autostart.

    Rainmeter only has cpu monitors I think. Rainlendar has the calendar function.
