Ok, I did what you said danio and downloaded tasklist.exe and placed it in my c:windowssystem32 folder and now the widget works perfect on my WinXP Home Edition SP2.

If you use XP Home edition you will need to do the same as I did. Here is a good place that explains it and gives you download links.

Wow, that's too bad it won't run on XP Home with SP2. A lot of people have Home edition and that's really limiting. I think this is a great widget and I am really interested in having this one. I hope you can find a fix for this.

Danio,

That's odd, because I tested on XP Home edition and I didn't run into any problems. I don't recall installing tasklist.exe prior.

for some reason it not showing the lower half the 2 bars go all the way but no background or txt. It shows 6 widgets I have 9 running.

Unfortunately this will only work on XP Pro - not XP Home. I didn't realise when uploading but only XP pro includes tasklist.exe.

It is possible to download tasklist.exe from the web - do a google search but I'm not sure about legal issues. I will look into alternatives...
