Serious Samurize : The Only Limit Is Your Imagination

What is Samurize?
Samurize is an advanced system monitoring and desktop enhancement engine for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista. IT professionals, overclockers, gamers and desktop modders alike use Samurize for system information, weather reports, news headlines and much much more. And best of all, Samurize is 100% free!

What about the features?
. an unrivalled set of built-in meters (Disk utilization, CPU usage, network traffic, system temperatures...)
. ultimate customizing and skinning possibilities with no programming knowledge required
. monitoring your own computer or others over a network
. tiny memory footprint and CPU usage
. the first system monitoring tool with a true WYSIWYG editor
. full extensibility via scripts and plugins with a powerful plugin SDK/API
. minimal software requirements (no .NET or Service Packs necessary)
. multimonitor support
. many usage options (desktop, taskbar and clock clients, server outputting to XML or image formats, screensaver)

Any reference websites?
. Samurize OFFICIAL Website
. Samurize on Wikipedia
. Samurize on Aqua-soft
. mysamurize.de forum (German but translate.google.com can come in handy..)
. Latest Update
. Clickable links for Windows Special Folders

Where can it be downloaded?
Download it here..

Do I have to uninstall previous version before installing the latest one?
No, you don't.

What are the hardware and software requirements for Samurize?
Samurize will run under Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003. It requires a video card that has hardware support for alpha blending in Windows (nVidia Geforce 1 or later).
Note: The taskbar client is not dependent on the type of video card because it does not blend to the desktop.

Any Noob Tutorial to start with?
Samurize 1.0.1 Visual Tutorial

Where can I download Cure2k3, the simpler version of Samurize?
It can be downloaded here

Happy Samurize-ing guys!!!

I believe, all the basic functions will be working fine inter-versions. But those that we heavily customized, such as display characteristics or button functions, will make the Samurize crash.

I tried my own set of config from version 1.62 in version 1.64 last nyt, n it also crash when i click the next button for my winamp config. more customizations are in progress... wheee~ rclxm9.gif

just copy the whole folder to another drive and you won't miss a thing.

yup... i did that before too...
but after some time, the whole folder become very messy, coz i m trying a lot of other config,testing and playing around and merge into my config if i found it useful....
so if its possible to export it correctly and wont miss out anything, then the folder wont be a mess...

@r4ydc24: thats wut i forget to do.... forget to test it before formating the drive....
but if i found out that its not export completely, how do i export those file that i left out??
