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. Mark
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.
It's on my desktop.
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.

Due to recent computer issue I have upgraded to the latest status meter. I don't like it at all.
Does anyone have a link to the previous version with the status bar showing how close you are to your limits for the month?
Yeah I experience the same problem. Every other program icon on planet Earth opens and displays its program but this thing had be believing I had a misload. I uninstalled it and nothing changed. I finally tossed the shortcut in the recycle bin where it belonged. You have to find the program down in the task bar. Between this and the way the crappy data usage meter is designed, I'm surpised the person who wrote that code hasn't been fired yet.
