at least you got the whole message.. I got:



Warning: Unable to access performance counters while User Account Control is enabled.

due to security precautions built in to Windows Vista, certain performance meters may not

[]Do not show this warning again





?

meters may not what?

I don't have Vista!





what skin is that?

I.R. Brainiac, Bichur I got that with the update last month, I believe on the 28th or 29th. Did a post titled DesktopX update, never got any replies. Oh and I run XP.

I saw the post, but hadn't run that beta yet. didn't run it until after I saw this post and decided to see what would happen to my weather widgets. by then, I forgot about the other post -

maybe you should have posted with a pic

what's even more ridiculous.. the effing meters dont work on vista even if UAC IS turned off! Has something been coded into DX meters to cause this worthless message to appear?

I thought microsoft had allowed my vista dual boot to truly dual boot.
