Gadgets Weather Office works does not please fix.

Hello

Microsoft has DISABLED the weather gadgets and currency via a recent update of security, because of worries about the vulnerability associated with these gadgets running on your computer. You can read more here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2719662 . Adjust the settings of your computer and all these other 'suggestions' people are, will NOT work. The function has been REMOVED from the operating system. It has also been removed from Windows 8 operating system. There are "theorists" who agrees that there is a security problem in the gadgets or Microsoft just doesn't support gadgets (usually from third party software) and has therefore disabled them in Windows 7 and eliminated in Windows 8.

Thanks to DaveNYC for the Info. Pass the word, because a lot of people is facing this problem just like you.

  • Windows Calendar and weather gadgets does not

    Some time ago, my weather gadget suddenly stopped working correctly without obvious reason.  It displays the correct temperature, but it will not show current conditions (for example, if it's rainy, cloudy, sunny, etc.). I tried to turn off my security software, restart, and nothing seems to work.  The calendar gadget does not work, either... it shows only an orange white square.  The strange thing is, with the weather gadget, at least, will this work for the cities of other provinces in the Canada.  But it won't work for what in the province of Manitoba or whatever it is in the East that.  All American cities, I've tried seems to work fine and all the other gadgets I have installed work very well, including several other weather gadgets I have installed when this problem arises.

    Anyone would be able to help me to schedule and the weather gadget?

    Hi Mcmacladdie,

    In your original post, you use the default weather gadget in Windows? If so, what are you using for the current location (city, postal code)? When I used the Manitoba, I get 2 options for the Canada. Here are the screenshots.

     

    Also, you mention that you are able to access the weather information for cities to the East of your location. Could you give examples please?

    Regarding the calendar, follow the troubleshooting steps suggested in this thread (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/calendar-gadget-does-not-display-the-date/4b5715a4-5055-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5).
