I had 2 monitors connected to my pc, now I have 1, but I can't add my rainmeter stuff to my single monitor. It acts like it is still adding it to the second monitor I had set up. How do I fix this problem without having to reconnect a second monitor ?

If I understand you correctly, when you start this Rainmeter program, the window that opens is not seen because it opens where the second display used to be.

If this is correct, you should be able to go into your graphics control panel and remove the secondary display from your system's configuration. This should make all programs open on the only available display.

If that does not work, while the program window may open on the secondary display, there should still be an icon in the task bar for it.

Mouse-over the icon, but do not click.
After about 1 second, the program preview window should appear. Move the mouse cursor over the preview window.
Right-Mouse-Click on the preview window and select Move.
Tap either the left or right arrow key on your keyboard.
You should now be able to move the window either left or right with the mouse (without clicking) until it appears on your display.
Once the window appears where you want it on your display, Left-Mouse-Click to set it in place.
From now on, when you start the program, it will appear in this new location.

I figured out what the problem was. I was trying to install some Rainmeter skins that aren't compatible with my system. Most the skins actually do work. I don't know why I thought they might have been installed on my other monitor that wasn't there.. lol. But, thank you for your response. I did check in my graphics control panel and it only displayed my TV I'm using as a monitor. That's when I came to the conclusion that it was a skin that isn't compatible with my system or something. All is good now and my system is working fine. https://gyazo.com/805c4fd251f7cdd19f5410d895e8f7d7 I went with a J.A.R.V.I.S. Theme. My 10 year old step son thinks it's very cool.
