Hi,
I'm looking for a network activity monitor gadget but I can't find any !! I only found NetMonitor and NetActivity but I can't even install them. Any ideas
thx

NetActivity will only work if Sidebar is running elevated as Administrator. So you'll need to exit Sidebar and manually run it as Adminstrator.

If you installed it as a normal user, the Gadget doesn't appear for some reason.

I think I'm am running the Sidebar as admin as far as I disabled the UAC.

The thing is that I can't even install this gadget. I click on "NetActivity.Gadget", I am asked if i trust the developper, bla bla, I say "install" but nothinkg happens.

You're not running Sidebar as Administrator, right click on Sidebar, select "View list of running gadgets". You'll see it's running.

If you can wait a day or two, I'll have a Gadget that works without all this fuss. I've just coded the DLL to read the NIC info, and am doing the Gadget side as we speak.

great, where will you post it once it's ready

By the way, I copied manually the files of the gadget to C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\ and now it seems to work.
