Windows 8 cpu memory gadget

When I right-click on the desktop, Gadgets option now appears. However, when I select Gadgets, my cursor hourglasses for about seconds and then nothing happens. Am I missing a step? In this case, the Gadgets were a functionality of Windows 7. Taking the Gadgets from Windows 7 and using it on Windows 8, where Gadgets are not there at all, is not permitted in the License because they are being used on a non-Windows 7 machine.

So this violates the license agreement, and might be a form of piracy. But, this may still be used if you live in a place where laws permit the duplication of the Gadgets, at which point, the law is taken instead of the license in this situation.

Tkachenko, please take this software down. Is this guy for real? So now you now! Get the hell outa here! You dont have to install anything, so dont be scared. So Ian, I take it you are a lawyer who has the right to interpret the laws and the contract s between Microsoft and me?

And as an attorney you, therefore, have the right to give us legal advice? I also take it, by your assertions, that you are also a law enforcement officer of some sort which gives you the right to enforce copyright, intellectual rights and other applicable laws?

This capacity also gives you the right to demand that this thread and software be removed? If you reside in the United States and are not a member of the Bar Association in any state, then you may be guilty of practicing law without a license.

Such a crime does carry penalties, however I can not advise you on your guilt or innocence nor the possible penalties you may suffer from if you commit such a crime.

I have no idea what laws other countries may have regarding this activity. Just smile, and live as you wish to live and respect my right to do the same! Thank you for the advice, but I do not believe that a takedown is necessary. I believe that Mr. Tkachenko is fully aware of his potential violations of the law, but that is his choice and one that we admire for it gives us the ability to have that which has been denied to us due to coprporate interest to do so.

Now a days gadgets are so much popular. From this article I also know the usefulness of gadgets. Because I pass my every time in front of my desktop so those gadgets are very much useful for me. Everyone knows this. And most of people like gadgets. I suspect that primary reason to remove desktop gadgets was tiles promotion.

Thank you Sergey for your work! Unfortunately, today we justify our underhanded political and commercial tricks by security reasons and build it into the law. What a piece of rubbish! No tile nonsense can veer replace the perfectly lined-up special tools that I have on the right side of my desktop, and which I use all the time.

And I am not taking a bout a stupid clock, wheather forecast or date in big letters. We in the knowing have dedicated tools to display CPU load per core, CPU temperature, RAM usage, currently tranferred data on network and Wi-Fi, HDD surveillance and storage space meters, battery tool to also switch directly between different power states, and so on and so on.

All this on a tiny amount of space, always accessible. Yes I read the TechNet security advisement. It seems very strange to me that MSoft cant make a secure gadget.

Makes no sense. I have used them for years on W7 and never had or heard of a problem. Gadgets are no more vulnerable than other software… you DO have to trust the source of your gadget software though, that they are reputable vendors and not malware distributors. Thanks a lot for this article.

I use gadgets daily and keep myself updated daily. This Desktop Gadget for Windows 8. Well good news for Gadget fans. In fact even the URLs are similar, just replace gallery. It stopped working after the last update to StartIsBack. Thx for your suggestions, but: 1. Only the Charms Bar came in front.

Too complex, have to use shortkey. Grrr I hate Microsoft… 3. This is not so good, the gadgets are always on top. Best answer selected by jblank. You must log in or register to reply here.

Thanks for the gadget. Talji Sep am. PC Meter not running I wrote yesterday about this. I found out the reason. PC Meter needs to run with admin rights. Once I set its properties to run with admin rights, the core temperature begin to show correctly in CPU meter.

Thanks for this great gadget. I have been using it for more than a year now. It had served me well. Fatoni Sep am. BUT, I would prefer the useage bars to be coloured by usage so if high it turns through range colours to red showing HOT, rather than just colours for different processors. Hopefully makes sense. Advice on how to use similar apps or gadgets in Win8 would be great. I use this , GPU, and network at visual guides to how my machine is running real time. Richard Holloway Sep pm. Proven Gadget Several Years ago I was not sure about running this gadget on my machine, I will tell you now that I dont run a machine without it, Zero issue's with compatability, never and issue's with it interfearing with any operations, and always one of the first things I can look to for a quick status of operations on my system.

I would like to say Thank You to the developer and all his work to get this to us, I have made several donations to ensure he is able to do more. Rianon Sep pm. There is only one thing now, because of which I don't install new version: PC Meter in it's current stage of develop is not supports G For me it's very helpful to see CPU core temps in any fullscreen app.

So, if you implement G15 support in PC Meter, it would be amazing and I'm definitely install your app. Iain Jackson Sep am. Excellent but I have been using your gadgets since the onset of the dreaded Vista and and find that yours are the first gadgets loaded and I have 12 screens of gadgets. However, since the change to inhouse? Is this a commont problem or is it just me? And I concur with a previous reviewer who suggested a control just to show the hottest or most used core rather than the full whack which is 12 in my case.

I also like the idea of this changing colour to indicate the temp as well - could be used instead of PC Temp!

Keep up the good work and there'll be a donation on its way soon! I've also downloaded GPU meter and its working nicely! Sampath Nissanka Sep pm. The best gadget This is the best gadget. Thank you very much and keep up. JoJo Lawren Sep pm. This is one of the BEST apps. That's dedication.

I love this app for my desktop and laptop, the meters for RAM and core usage is excellent.

One thing, I know for a fact that I have a quad-core processor yet it shows that I have 8 cores. It may be showing that I have 8 threads, and still naming them as cores Thats the only thing, but not too big of a deal.

Smail Jul pm. I use this gadget since , One of the best gadgets on the sidebar. Paul Jul pm. Awesome Gadgetr Truly awesome gadget! I've used this for years. Graham Jappe Jul pm.

Rakshit Pandey 9-Jul pm. Sylvester 7-Jul pm. Great Gadget This is a great gadget. It does an great job of showing processor load and temperature. I would like to see an option to display the actual physical cores in the future as previously mentioned by others also.

Thank you for providing a great gadget. Warren 4-Jul am. Excellent This is a great gadget not only for overclockers and Tekkies but for anyone.

It lets you know in real time if everthing is O. With the system is locked or just a programm. Lets you know what programms are using resources etc. I have had previous versions and would not be without it.

I have noticed the constant notice that a "New version available" appears regardless of the "current" version present. Probably only an issue for anal customers.

Fine gadget allwas looking for the quick working the processors. Annon Jun pm. The best, around. Why you don't charge for this i don't know.
