you can use as many idle plugins as you want. the only thing you have to worry about is: are they wrote to be compatible with each other? all of mine are, and i run them all at the same time without error.
i don't know anything about vista, and registering a file. in xp, the way i do it, is to use the windows command prompt. (like dos prompt) then i go to the directory where the .dll is (logparser.dll), and type:
regsvr32 LogParser.dll
which in windows command prompt looks like:
C:Program FilesLog Parser 2.2>regsvr32 LogParser.dll
then it gives me a popup message that says success.
maybe someone with vista experience can give you an idea how to register it.
here are the xp instructions:
Installation:
Step 1 - Unzip the file into a folder of choice. (doesn't matter where)
Step 2 - The zip file contains a folder called "GrettaSystemMonitor". Inside that folder you will see a file called "LogParser.msi". Click on it to install.
Step 3 - Once "LogParser.msi" is installed, use the windows command prompt to go to the install directory. By default (In windows XP) it is: "C:Program FilesLog Parser 2.2\"
Step 4 - At the command prompt "C:Program FilesLog Parser 2.2>" type (WITHOUT THE QUOTE MARKS): "regsvr32 LogParser.dll" and press enter. (this will register the .dll file that the plugin uses. If successful, it will give a popup "success" message.)
Step 5 - In the folder "GrettaSystemMonitor", you will find a file called "GrettaSystemMonitor.uhp". Copy it to the Ultra Hal main directory.
Step 6 - Start Hal, and go to the "Brain" options screen. Check the plugin called "GRETTA System Monitor". Then click "Apply" in the right hand corner.
**When I say "wondows command prompt", I don't mean click (in xp) "start", "run" .....but instead i mean the command prompt program. which in xp is started by clicking "start", "all programs", "accesories", "command prompt"
