Zubaz, I couldn't agree more with:
"The biggest problem here is that you DON'T have UAC. It's Vista only. There-in lies the problem”
However, when I use the command to bring up the U.A.C. configuration panel (secpol.msc) it does come up! Will the wonders of MS OSs never cease! See, I think that it is because I have 'Live One Care" installed on my XP SP2 and somehow (in their infinite wisdom) it installs U.A.C. on XP. That is just my best guess, bottom line is that U.A.C. IS running on my XP installation and it is keeping me from using these fine Widgets on my system. I have muddled through this 'Local Security Settings' console, but really can not find anything that applies to 'Performance Meters' or 'System Monitoring'.
As if that is not fun enough, I have found that; SOME system monitoring widgets DO run without the error message, some Widgets run- but only after you dismiss this error message, and the October Widget Meters just plain do not run I just get the cryptic error message. Now isn't that more interesting than chewing broken glass? I think that the best thing I can do, is come up with a listing of which Widgets (that I am using); Run without errors, Run but with errors, and Do not run at all. That way the fine people that make these widgets might get a handle on WHICH scripts are getting nuked by MS, and which aren't.
Although, I am still wondering if there is a version of Desktop X that this does not happen at ALL with. If that is the case; 1) I am going to roll back to that version 2) Someone would need to take a look at HOW the newest version is getting it's information (from XP) and maybe modify that to the way the older version does with greater success. Or am I just over thinking this?
Now; Fairyy~, Zubaz, vStyler, & Frogboy I would like to extend my heart felt "Thanks!" for your time and efforts. I am new to this community, but I can see already that it is a FINE community and I am honored to be a member. Thank you very much, to everyone that has taken the time to come to my aid. Everyone has been so very helpful and supportive it is just awesome. You guys (I mean that 'non-gender' in case someone here is not of the 'male' gender, I do not want to offend),
ROCK! With this kind of support I am sure to be using DX and all the Object Desktop products for many years to come.
Many
Grateful Returns,
Enzo
