The casue is exiting the program when the desktop graph
is hidden results in it saving 0 for heigth and width
in the registry. i will correct this problem and
release a patch soon.

for now the easiest workaround is to clean up the
registry, you can delete the following values, or
change the data to something bigger than 40.
HKLM/Software/FreeMeter/DispWidth (should be > 40)(28 hex)
HKLM/Software/FreeMeter/DispHeight (should be > 40)(28 hex)

if you have the source code and want to correct the
problem and rebuild, the methods to patch are
RestoreRegistry() and/or the Dispose() overide for
Form1, which also saves the registry data on exit,
patch to deal with the case of zero width and height of
Form1, possibly by forcing the values to > 40 if they
fall below that.
