Hughesnet usage meter

Hi everybody,

I have Hughesnet usage meter 6.6.0 installed on Windows 8.1. Clicking on the icon won't open the app. Any ideas/

Your help is appreciated.

    fallteeth, first click on the little up arrow in lower right tray, then cutomize. Then choose to show notifications and icon. The meter opens into the tray when the desktop icon is clicked. You have to double click on the tray icon to actually open the meter.

     

  • You might need to be a bit more specific about the context you discribe.  For example, where is the icon you click on?  Is it in your system tray or on your desktop.  On my legacy HN7000S system the status meter icon on my desktop merely launches the status meter into the background mode which then makes the icon show up in my system tray.  Left clicking on the system tray icon prompts a summary display.  Right-clicking the same system tray icon offers up a context menu. 

     

    I hope that helps.

      So if your newer version works like my older version the desktop icon merely launches the background application ... hence it will appear to do very little (especially if the background application is already running).  Do you see a similar icon in your system tray?  If so, try right clicking on it to get a context menu or left-clicking on it for a summary status.  Hovering over it should also bring up a tiny status message. 

       

      Hopefully, someone with experience with the newer (your) version will answer ... I'm just offering what suggestions I can to try to help out until then.
