Just in the past week Jan 2018, Usage meter will not run from desktop or at startup, producing this error message   any clues?

    Go to that folder and delete the "status-meter.conf" file then restart the meter.

     

    PS: You may need to enable show hidden files/folders to find it.

1. You first have to quit the meter app.

2. It's better that you delete the whole Usrs/xxxx/AppData/Roaming/HughesNet Usage Meter directory. The reason is because chances are there are other files (like the history cache) that are corrupted as well, not just the conf file.

3. Then restart it.

Good point. I looked at other files there, ie; the .log file was apended and not overwritten from an earlier version 6.1.1

I must have been lucky in my brief power outage. (hard shutdown)

My Update to 6.7.0.0 left the folder there... i think.
