I noticed, that on a dual-core system GetSystemPerformanceData.Get_CPU_Usage only retrieves the CPU-0 values, which is only half of the truth.
1. While searching the forum, i happened to detect my own message concerning GetSystemPerformanceData.Get_CPU_Usage from nearly two years ago, which has not yet been answered, but is still true on my machine - now 1,83GHz / Dual-Core / 3GB Ram. So i would like to ask again, if someone could confirm this behaviour, described in my first message (see message-text below). 2. Concerning the dual-core-problem I wanted to test the systemmeter- plugin, to see if the CPU-Usage is ok, but unfortunately i am not able to get the systemmeter-plugin to work. Nothing happens. 3. Another question/idea is, if it is possible to get the CPU-Usage with the DLL-Plugin. I followed the thread http:// tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/power-pro/message/ 33065?threaded=1&var=1&l=1 about how to get the value of more than 2GB RAM a few days ago with interest and i was amazed at the possibilities of the DLL-Plugin, appropriate knowledge assumed.
