Hi-
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with EQuivocate. The main developer is out on leave at the moment, I'll try to help the best I can until he returns.
First thing I would do is update EQuivocate. You can do this by going to My Account > My Products, and then finding the EQuivocate installer. The EQ Meters are drawn with OpenGL, which the most recent build of EQuivocate has a number of fixes for. You could try toggling the OpenGL button (in the Preset Bar), to see if it solves the problem.
