are you selecting a different plugin separately for each one?

it's been a while since i did a dx object.. if you're accessing different functions of the same plugin, i don't know what's up.. if not, you need to get more plugins for whatever type of thing you're trying to do..

i'm sure someone else could help you more than i.. :/

I had the same problem in the Envision theme first. That's why I ended up using the latest DXToys. Took some time to figure everything out, but it is much more flexible than the built in performance meters. (IMHO)

i also would suggest using a different meter.

i did once have 2 instances of SDTaskManager plugin running at once. however, since one was in DX and one was in OB, i doubt it counts.

thanks for your help. guys, I think the main problem was that I has copied the original CPU meter and copied it again so I didn't have to set it up again. I gues it was ust the same instance of one meter. I made separate meters from scratch (well not literally) and it is still flaky but it works. Now I have 3 meters and 3 numberf for the meters. Working so far. I guess the DXToys are better. I am looking at ofther themes and they don't use the standard meter if they have more than 2.

I am about to upload it because it is working but maybe I should try to work out the DXToys so know body gets hurt

Thanks again
