Hey gang,
Ok so I know with Windows 8, MS did away with the sidebar and gadgets, due to security concerns I guess.
There was one I had I really liked, it was a cpu usage meter, and it showed several things, usage on the cores, usage on ram, etc.
I have find things like this:
All CPU Meter - Monitoring your processor,RAM usage and other - Windows 8 Downloads
But when I do, when I try to download it always tries to install some download manager and at some point through the process I get concerned and cancel out.
Maybe gadget is not really what I am looking for - I would just like an app on my regular desktop, that can display this time of information?
If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
- Don
