  • Gadget weather does not update

    original title: Windows SideBar

    Windows sitebar weather is not updated.  I closed the sidebar. and retarted it, but no luck.  I have norton 360 on my computer.  Help, please.

    Thank you

    Try to delete everything in this folder (but not the folder itself): C:\Users\s \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Window Live\Services\Cache\weather.  I saw a post where it worked for someone else (and obviously others or it would not have been suggested).

    If this does not work, try to change the gadget to another location and see if it works there.  If so (or if not), then change it back and see if it works now again as it should.

    Reset you the weather gadget? By reset, I mean - shut down (close it) and then add it again. Might work as it does with Notes: course notes are deleted when you close the gadget / current weather parameters are ignored. It's worth a try if you have not already tried it.

    BTW, Internet Explorer works?  I read somewhere that if it wasn't (although Firefox or Chrome or something else was), then some of the gadgets would be updated.

    If all else fails, there are some other availalble of weather gadgets that can do just as well ahttp://www.bing.com/search?q=wiindows%20sidebar%20weather%20gadgets%20for%20Vista&mkt=en-us&FORM=TOOLBR&DI=6244&CE=14.0&CM=SearchWebwork.

  • Where is Active Desktop?

    What happened to Active Desktop, very useful (and not present on linux) existing features for Win98... 2K... XP? I really miss this feature and regret my old windows xp just because of this. Hope to see him return to seven?

    Well, not to beat a dead horse, Active Desktop cannot compare to the functionality of Gadgets and has fewer security holes. Both you get full access to Windows features, but gadgets are not related to ActiveX, but rather DHTML in the Protected Mode OFF of your browser instance. I suggest that you look over some of the most basic gadget tutotials. As a writer, I waited my whole life to computer for gadgets. (Finally, since DHTML anyway :)))

    This link is old, but then I'm just an old man. He has had several minor changes in gadgets since then, but it is a good starting point. You will not regret it.

  • Commissioning changed update of Yahoo, Aol, and unwanted Gadgets. Cannot access 'my documents' why the invasion?

    This is the second time in 2 months.  The background was different and a lot of gadgets appeared on a sidebar that I have never on my desk. When I tried to get on the internet for some answers, I found that my home page had been hijacked by Yahoo.  I never use yahoo or use the stuff from AOL which appears as a separate tab.

    For the first time, it happened a few months ago I was denied access to 'my documents' and a few others and left unresolved to regain this access or reason why it happened.

    The experience of the first time was scary and I restored my computer to an earlier date.  I then, out of fear, went through a process of verification of all my financial ties and conducted a full credit check to get a piece of mind that this was not a question a change caused by a bug, worm or another predator of the computer.

    How can I avoid that this does not happen and how can I regain access to my files that have been saved?

    I'm not very high technology so need some simple advice on this issue.

    Thanks to all those who can help you

  • I need to change a system setting of the control panel to the Desktop Gadgets.

    I want to put a clock on my desk. But when I try to open the setting, a window pops up: "The Desktop Gadgets are managed by your system administrator." I read the explanation provided by MS (group policy features, etc.), but my pc does not part of a network & it is not in a domain, so somehow that changing this setting for "Desktop Gadgets" sometimes there are. In any case, I wish I had a procedure step by step on how to disable the system of administration. function, even if I need to go into the registry. I don't have this problem with other parameters in my control panel. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    esheldon

    I don't know, I never disabled Gadgets myself as I like the gadget to use CPU/RAM. But Microsoft recommended disabling some time ago. Maybe, if they are disabled is the effect it gives?

    In any case, there are these two articles, which can be interesting to read if you did not already:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2719662

    and

    https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/library/security/2719662

    If you have seen these or they do not help, then (sorry) I hope someone else soon.

    PS - as one involves at least registry changes, your backup system in the first place, or at least backup/export your registry database and back up important data (documents, pictures, music, etc.) first.
