ThreadDesktopComposited error on bootup #114

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
On bootup with the latest versions (r223&r256) an error pops up for each
meter implemented (see link).  This is more like a inconvenience, because
one only has to click through all of them and it works fine, but it gets
tedious.

Your DWMAPI.DLL is probably broken. See e.g. here:

This issue has nothing to do with Rainmeter or with the two applications 
mentioned in
the forum thread. According to the several similar reports that can be found 
with
Google this was caused by IE7 update. You can follow the instructions in the 
above
link and rename the dll and see if that helps. Note that making changes to the 
system
dlls can make your computer nonoperational so do this only if you are sure you 
can
recover from any possible problem it might cause and all your important files 
are
backed up.
