HWiNFO not detected after updating to 7.0.0 #234

I updated HWiNFO to 7.0.0 this morning and Modern Gadgets no longer detects HWiNFO. Please advise. Thanks.

Never mind, figured it out: the update overwrote user settings and disabled shared memory support. Flipping it back on fixed things instantly. Leaving this up for when others run into the same issue.

This is actually going to be a major headache for non-technical users. It even affects the portable install. I'm gonna post a PSA on the Rainmeter forums about this, if one isn't already there. Thankfully the sensor ID mappings don't appear to be affected.

Public Service Announcement: Upgrading to HWiNFO 7.0

I was angry about this change at first, but after reading Martin's post on the matter, I can agree with the change. The solution is to simply not upgrade to 7.0.
