Well it looks like the "Weather Forecast 2" is keeping updated , so i will use that one till Adni18 can figure out why none of the other ones he has are not keeping the "current conditions" , hopefully he reads this and will look into it EDIT: I just did a reboot and noticed that the Weather Forecast 2 , will start when Windows starts like its supposed to , but the location is wrong (it goes to Canton Mi. , not Weiser , Id) , so i have to re-enter the loca

I have the "newer" versions of , The Weather , Weather Status, Live Weather V4 , Weather Forecast , taken from Adni18's dropbox site https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vt16cpgyrzznser/zu-2zKHMbQ , and i have been trying each one of them to see if one will work , but what happens is , they work for the day , then i have to close them , then go to the folder where i have the zip fi

Now is this for the Adni18 Weather , or yours ?? , there is no WU_Weather in my folder

Well its still not saving it , we had a power outage this morning (several times) and i re-started my PC and it said Greece again , so i had to re-set the Zip Code , should i put the folder somewhere else besides My Documents ??

Well , it starts with Windows now , BUT , it wont remember the location , its starts up showing Thessaloniki ,B, Greece , the Location is GRXX0019 and Celsius , so why does it not save the location ?? , and why did it not save it when i entered it before ?? , i extracted everything into that one folder , did i miss something ??

OK Thanks , i made a folder in My Documents , and extracted it there , then clicked the .exe , so hopefully it will launch when Windows restarts next time

Where does the folder have to be , in Windows main folder ?? or in My Documents ?? , does it matter ??

So i am the only one having this issue ??

I am now having a issue with the Adni18 Weather Gadget (one of the new ones from the Dropbox that i downloaded) , for some reason , every time i try to go to Options and it does not matter if i right click over the gadget itself , or if i do it from the Icon in the taskbar , a pop up comes up and it says " The item 'adni18_The Weather.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved , so this shortcut will no longer work properly . Do you wa

[quote who="frankell" reply="12" id="3444018"] btw Adni18 had his very good reasons to change the Weather Gadgets download procedure providing his DropBox link (many thanks to Adni18 !!) I just learned and then followed the instructions found in the JPG file ! [/quote] OK i went to his site again www.adni18.com (not his Dropbox) just a few minutes ago , and went to one of the

Last time i went to his site (yesterday ), in the Weather Zip , all that is there is 2 JPG's , no gadget,installer,nothing but 2 JPG's , i can go to any one of his weather gadgets and they are all the same , like he deleted them when the site he used went away or whatever it did , and they are still the same , no gadget inside the Zip I will check out the link you posted , but there was no mention of it on his site EDIT:<

Yea , every time i look at it , its stays at the same temperature , the only time it updates the current temp is when i click the Refresh arrows on the top right , is there a way to tell it when to update , like every 5 minutes or something ?? , i looked in Preferences , but it only gives a few options and none of them have to do with the weather itself , just how it looks...also , when i go back into Preferences , i look and i had checked Start With Windows and every time i go ba

Well that one works so to speak (no offense to the maker) , but the issue with it is , it does not constantly keep current conditions , so you have to click "Refresh" all the time which pretty much sucks and takes away what i was looking for , i want something like Adni18's Weather Gadgets that constantly give the CURRENT conditions at just a glance (i wish he would fix or make those work again) , i sat here all morning thinking it was still 50 degrees F and then i decided to

I used to use adni18's Desktop Weather Gadget , but for whatever reason it no longer works/is discontinued , i have been temporarily using the Weather Channel Gadget , but it constantly crashes , i tried to get the Accu Weather Gadget but all i keep getting is some stupid download Zip program that i dont want , that is not the gadget , i cant find a way to just download the gadget this is the site and when you click on any of the download lin

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="94" id="3380960"] JimDirt, give the gadgets another try. For some inexplicable reason, they all started working for me again a couple days ago. No updates or any changes, I just decided to try a new one from RnD, it ran, so I tried others. No crashes or errors since. Gotta just love technology. [/quote] Which gadget did you use , or are all the ones i have tried now working for you ?? <

Only issue is , mine is XPSP3 with NO additional updates , the last update on mine WAS SP3 itself (from SP1 that came on the disk) in 2011 when i had re-formatted , the only other "Windows Updates" are 1 hotfix for IE6 (which is NOT my default browser , Firefox is) , 1 is for Adobe (This hotfix installs the XPS features to Windows Server 2003 and to Windows XP. It contains the system and driver components that enable XPSDrv print drivers to be installed. It also enables the XPSDrv fil

So i am guessing that there is no fix for this issue ???

Did NOT work !! The one you directed me to in the link did the same thing Zip Code pop up this morning !!!!! [e digicons]X([/e] What Now ??? , so far nothing seems to make a difference , i have never had any program/Gadget give so many issues , the thing is , before Google removed it , i used to have the Google Weather Gadget and it never gave any errors , i wish it still worked

OK going to try it Only thing i dont like is that new one is H U G E , and i did not want the calender , i wish there was a way to remove the Calender , and i wish there was a way to control the size , i prefer the size of the Weather F-C , i had to move it over to the right on the desktop far enough to hide the Calender and its still HUGE ! I entered Weiser, ID *crossing fingers* </

I just did a PC Pitstop Exterminate test about 5 minutes ago , it tested for malware , virus and spyware and found nothing at all And if something else is affecting it then why is it so inconsistent , it will work fine for a few days , or sometimes it has the zip code error 6 or more times in a day , again , it shows the current conditions and my city/state while it gives the error , so its functioning when it gives the error , that is what does not make sen

Already done both , , in fact i did another Check Disk just 2 days ago , no change whatsoever , as i suspected something not normal was causing this , my laptop with Vista 64 Home Premium has not had any issues at all with the gadgets , but i have tried all suggestions offered and so far nothing has fixed the issue (with the exception of a complete reformat which i just dont see as practical , since this is the only issue i am experiencing with this PC , otherwise no errors/conflicts or

I woke up to several Zip Code errors on the screen this morning , it had done it several times overnight , so i tried Weiser, ID and it rejects it , it just pops the error back up immediately , the only thing it will allow me to enter is the Zip Code itself , and there is still no .ini for the F-C Gadget anywhere in the folder where i extracted and opened it

But again , i have NO additional updates after SP3 , that is the last entry in my Add/Remove Programs back in 2011 when i did a reformat

My disk was originally XP SP1 , but i unwillingly updated it to SP3 (because a Anti-Virus program (AVG)would not allow me to update unless i had SP3 and i had paid for it so i reluctantly put in SP3), also when i did that i had 2 Call of Duty games that would no longer work or even re-install (COD3 and COD4) , yet with SP1 they installed and worked fine , so there might be something to the updates , EXCEPT mine is a SP3 with NO additional Windows updates beyond the SP3 update itself , s

[quote who="adni18" reply="67" id="3369463"] 1. First put a space between coma and Idaho: Weiser, Idaho 2. Second, remember what I told you, my gadgets are working great with no errors in my wife's laptop for years now, she has Windows XP and no antivirus or anti malware etc 3. The .ini file doesn't exist but it is created after the gadget quits, (restart or shutdown), and it has your town info ONLY, you don't have to do anything with it and
