Dear users of SimpleMonitor, I have some news. It was on my conscience that I have released this widget long ago (and it had substantial amount of users) and I haven't upgraded or supported it.

It's time for a long waited update, I have fully rewritten the widget for the 4.5 engine.
All back-end is rewritten using COM technology so the widget will be much faster, less resources hungry and more reliable.

Stay tuned...

Nice clean system monitor. I tried several others which either didn't work properly or looked terrible.

There were two problems, which had the same solution: Uptime wasn't being reported, there was an error message instead and CPU clock speed was also replaced by some error text ("konnte nicht gefunden....")

The solution: install Unix Utilities for Yahoo Widgets.

some bugs and system uptime not working in winxp sp3, all working great before I upgrade.

only widget I could find that showed CPU clock speed

The widget itself is great. There are lots of meters now, but most of them don't show past CPU or RAM usage as graphs (at least I didn't find any that were both convenient to use and nice to look at).
However, the network traffic meter works wrong for me, displaying both ingoing and outgoung traffic about 4 or 5 times bigger than I actually have.
