Download and Instructions

Notes:

  • You must be using Windows Vista or Windows 7. If you are using Windows XP, you can use the Yahoo! widget instead.
  • The gadget needs an Internet connection in order to operate - it does not have to be an "always-on" connection, but you must be connected to the Internet when the gadget is first loaded.

DOWNLOAD

Installing/Upgrading

1: If an instance of the gadget is already running, close it first. (Right click -> Close gadget).

2: Left click the download link above and choose "Save" when prompted, and save to a folder on your PC.

3: To install the gadget, simply double click the file in the folder where you saved it in the previous step. The gadget has not been digitally signed so you will be prompted with a warning before installing. It is safe to ignore this.

4: If upgrading, you will be warned that the gadget has been modified since you last used it. Click "ok".

The gadget needs to know what your All-In-One Account user ID is. Simply hover your mouse over the gadget and click the spanner icon. You can then enter your user ID. If you do not have an All-In-One Account, simply sign-up here.

5: When docked, the gadget will display just your credit and RAC values. To get a more detailed overview (as pictured above), undock the gadget (Windows Vista) or for Windows 7, hover your mouse over the gadget and click the "Larger size" icon.

Currently the gadget will contact boinc.mundayweb.com for your stats every 2 hours.

Please do not modify the gadget to increase the frequency of the updates as this will put an increased strain on my server and is not necessary as your stats are only updated once a day.
