Has anyone else noticed that as of Jan 1st, the METAR data doesn't work for most sites to retrieve weather info? Almost every site responds with a Parse error. I've R&R'd Sysmetrix thinking it may be a corrupt data file but the problem persists. I read some forums saying it's possibly the Weather Channel but Sysmetrix retrieves it's data from NOAA. Does anyone have a line of why this is happening? NOAA's weather site still uses the same 4-character METAR codes and they don't mention any changes.
I want to donate too....... pm me your details as well......i love sysmetrix soooo much, i cant live without it!! and I lurve skinning it too.. xxxx
Hey Nick ! Great to see You here.
Running Seven Ultimate 64bit here. CPU doesn't work at all for me it always shows 0 %.
Ditto.
Ram doesn't notice anything unless I run win7 also in vmware with 4gig allocated....then the host sysmetrix shows something of a hit.
Oh, I will test that whe I get my new machine with 6 GB.
Ok, I think I've got the CPU, Memory, and TCP/IP stuff fixed I'll do some more testing and see if there are any other problems with Windows 7. My plan is to do another release in the next couple of weeks. By then we'll have a Windows 7 compliant version of SysMetrix and a new Website to host it!
Nick
Great !!!
Now that sounds great.
Once that is all done maybe what would be needed or nice is some kind of SysMetrix skinning clinic or contest.
Hey Jafo!
Wow - sounds like you've got a helluva system! Wanna trade? Sorry about the extended absence - having kids ends up taking away all of your free time. Who'd have thought? At any rate, I'm planning on putting out a new version in the next couple of weeks that will take care of all of those little problems with Windows 7 and Windows Vista. I'll post back when it's ready for download!
Nick...the previous machine was a little long in the tooth...P4 3.0 gig....had it for yonks.

Great little CPU, can be easilly overclocked to 4 Ghz and, in some cases, even beyond. Mine is at 4 Ghz and, for a while, had it stable at 4.2 Ghz - but I didn't like the max temperatures (even with the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 brick as a cooler) when running Prime95 for extended periods of time.
Anyway, hi Nick! Glad to see you back too.
Excellent news
good to hear Nick, finally a reason to get back to doing sysmetrix themes again
Geez....just look at all the low member numbers here.....
....all we need now are cobwebs and walking frames....
Indeed--it looks like the old folks have come out.
@Nick, while we are at it : It would be uber-nice if You could find a way for Sysmetrix 3.5 ( ) a skinner could define a drive meter 1 time only and then let the end-user decide which drives he wants to monitor. Would need to mirror everything belonging to that drive meter X times then by tiling or so.
Now I like that suggestion as I only have one HDD.
Sorry, double post
Donation coming from me also. Will check the site.
The new site is very nice, can't wait for the update bugs in the program to be fixed.
me too glad to see work on this again great program.
Ok, I've posted SysMetrix 3.44 (http://www.xymantix.com/sysmetrix/download), so download it when you get a chance and let me know if there are still any problems with Windows 7. I think I got everything taken care of, but don't have a system yet to test on, so I'm still flying blind. I did order a copy of Windows 7 64-bit, though, so I'll be making the leap next week!
Calle, that's a great idea about the drives. I think it would be a nice addition for everyone, so I'll add it to the todo list!
I just downloaded the update and memory and those things associated with it seem to working fine. Running Win 7 64 bit with 8GBs of memory.
I need to go find a skin that looks at multiple core CPU's so I can check the other stuff. Do you have any suggestions of a skin to try?
