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!!!

http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/archive/index.php?t-9840.html

itz a direct translation from a japanese website.. hope dat can be ya starting point.

Will be welcoming them wif open arms guys..

Anyway, if you guys bumped into useful guides, pls do share em here... I'll update the 1st post as time goes by...

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~

iTunes user, this step will be very troublesome... but worth doing...

If u r still lost, juz jump to Page 5 of the thread n read Stevie BM's post.. I gez, iTunes user been struggling wif the same prob over n over again.. but since I'm not an iTunes user, hope u guys will try to make use of it...

@PeowYong, did u test ya *.sam file after exporting it??

Yeah, I normally do wat Fariz suggested for personal backup... but use export to transfer all the configs n stuff to another machine. uhuhu

ay, nice speedometer stuff man... regarding the temperature, izzit is compulsary to install either MBM or Speedfan 1st? I wonder if we can use the probe from say Asus's or Abit's default probing software.

does this mean we can run many instances ryt during the startup?? me on ofc laptop. havent try it out yet... uhuhuhu.

awesomely explained... i'll do some checkup then... getting ready for June's Wallie shootout now... ahahahha... thx2

itz juz awesome to launch samurize wif all d configs dat retrieve info fr d net ryt? other than juz machine info..

pity me, no internet @ home.. aaaaaa~

btw, how many of us started wif Cure2k eh? Last tym, i resist on using samurize bcoz i dun want em to be on my desktop.. Thus, was using cure2k till 2003.. uhuhuhuh

yeah uzu.. i saw dat too. added myself up... Let's SAMURIZE the world!!!!

not sure if samurize fully support Japanese & Chinese lang tho... I renamed all my Japanese songs into Romaji.. ahahahhaa. Easier to use the JUMP feature in winamp...

btw, haf u tried AppLocale bro?
