I cant use sysstats!!!, i did all that you say but its broken!, please help!! what can I do?

I'm trying to put this in comments for all docklets using sysstats...

in order to get sysstats to work on Vista all you need to do is...

quit rocketdock

go to C\programfiles\rocketdock\

right click on rocketdock.exe

select properties

select compatibility tab

check run as administrator

apply

now your dock should not crash when you add sysstats from add item menu

but I'm having a problem getting this or the reflective orb to link to my computer when I click it...I've configured it but it won't take me to my computer...I can configure it to take me to my desktop or anywhere else but not my computer...when I configure it to my computer nothing happens when I click the icon in the dock but when I configure it to my desktop it goes to my desktop when I click the icon in the dock???I know its just a click or two difference but its driving me crazy!!!

You can find SysStats here:

Ok, let's see.. One way to solve it is to go to the Overlays and browse to the right location of the Images that came with the docklet. If you'll install it properly, it should work" out of the box".. You should copy the folder named "SYSSTATS" that you downloaded into the DOCKLETS folder, say yes to overrighting existing files.
If it doesn't help, just copy the images that came with the docklet to anywhere and browse to the location (in the overlays/background & hilite layers). This should solve your problem anyway.

Everything i download that have to do with SysStats comes up transparent like The Weather, my computer and others!

MY BIG PROBLEM!! HELP ME PLEASE!!

Thanks.

's AvatarWizcrazyz (January 23, 2009):

Its transperent and i can't change it whatever i do! Help me please. I would take a picture but i don't know how to in a computer, help!!!

's AvatarWizcrazyz (January 23, 2009):

Thanks, but i didn't solve my problem.

's Avatarzigboom (January 22, 2009):

You can easily change the colour of the background and the hilite. rightclick the docklet/configure. go to Overlays/Hilite/configure.
move the Hue slider to change the colour(also saturation if you like to.
You can do the same with the Background overlay.
if you like another style of background, you can try my other docklet: reflective disc oeb, its the same lady with another dress :)

's AvatarWizcrazyz (January 21, 2009):

How do you change the background???

thanx for your comment FakeMob. very helpful information, i had no idea...windows can be so odd sometimes. very nice to hear all works as it should. happy you like my docklet(that also reminds to buy new hard disc when the time comes :) i guess it's a bonus feature that sneaked into the ini file :)

's AvatarFakeMob (December 16, 2008):

For people who are having weird problems with this not working, no disk drive settings appearing in Configuration etc., check that the ini file is right. Somehow, having copied over the new sysstats folder, the My_Computer.ini in the RocketDock folder ended up as a kind of blank template ini. After a few minutes of hair pulling I noticed this and copied over the ini manually from the downloaded zip and (after setting it to F and G drives) everything is now working fine. Great docklet zigboom! Now I have a constant visual reminder that I need me a new hard drive...

's Avatarzigboom (December 5, 2008):

yes, that was the idea.. it's the same docklet with a different skin, u are right. the reason i made it in the first place was i found it hard to remember that the green orb actually opens "my computer" so i made it look like one :). anyway, it's the same lady with a different dress :)

's AvatarQadron2 (December 4, 2008):

4 me the reflective green orb is much prittier and it does a same thing

's Avatarzigboom (September 17, 2008):

hi envirochick. i guess u didn't install sysstats properly. first u have to download it(link in original message up). then u have to unzip it directly into your Rocketdock folder. after this u should be able to install the docklets.
