Gadget: weather

This is the second time my gadget weather has stopped working.  Said «!» Unable to connect to the service.  "Too bad because I really like it."  Both times it happened after I have shut down the computer for more than a week.  The first time, she came back after a few days.  In fact it was Monday and I thought that people have the time to give it some attention and "reset".

So far, it still does not work.

Thank you

Same thing here too.  I think that service is down like I can reproduce it on two PCs.

Edit: I contacted Microsoft technical support and they said:

 
"Thank you for this our [sic."  I think it's for the 'out'], Win game. It seems that we have a new failure. I would like to inform our engineering team. »

  • Why isn't my gadget weather access to the server?

    Maybe this isn't really a problem in Mozilla (it just occurred to me). I selected Gadgets in the right click menu on my desktop (Dell with Windows 7) and selected the weather gadget. It worked fine for months, but about six days ago he ceased to update when I turned on my modem. Little by little he showed predictions less and less (normally it would show current day and three days in advance). Now it just displays an information icon and the message unable to connect to the service. I was wondering if it was more compatible with Mozilla Firefox, or maybe they are independent. Thank you!

    Most of the Google desktop gadgets using the built-in features of Windows, plumbing even under Internet Explorer. It is possible that some are using Mozilla technology, but I think that those still communicate directly to the internet without count/use Firefox.

    If you got this gadget from Dell, they may offer an update for it. If not, are there any built-in update type or if you click to access its Internet site (where the data comes from), is there any explanation he?

  • 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.

  • Destop weather gadgets does not

    Separated from this thread.

    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.

  • Weather Gadget Windows 7 Home Premium

    Yesterday, when "awakened" computer HP dv7 laptop, I noticed the current temp for the gadget weather has not been demonstrated, but rather a range scheduled for Columbia, SC showed. I did a Google search and saw answer to a similar question has been for the gadget to uninstall and reinstall. When I did, I rebooted and then the gadget showed temp for the new YHork, NY instead of Coljumbia, SC. I select the options on the gadget icon, enter postal code and/or the location of the city and get "site not found". I can walk into any city and get the same result.  I then added gadget weather Bug and it works properly! I know you could live with it, but I prefer weather because it is smaller. I ' ved did a system restore and had no effect. Suggestions? Thank you.

    Update: A solution is found. I wrote a blog on this subject: http://my.opera.com/wikipedian/blog/2013/03/08/fix-it-weather-gadget-and-currency-gadget-not-work-in-windows-7-displaying-ca

  • Weather & Gadgets currency has stopped working

    Portable Windows 7 64 - bit with 2 user accounts.

    1 (admin) user. Weather Gadget works very well.

    User 2. Gadgets weather & currency used to work but stopped recently, with the message "unable to connect to the service.

    Gadget clock continues to operate correctly on both accounts.

    I've seen several fixes such as deleting a file 'settings.ini' sidebar or by running the sfc/scannow utility. Has no effect.

    I also tried to disable the functionality of Windows, and then turn.

    I even tried to replace the files in directories user 2 Sidebar/Cache with the exploitation of user 1, no luck.

    I also saw about Microsoft after you turn off this feature for security reasons.

    However, if that's true then why the weather gadget still works for user 1, even after deletion/re-add/change of place, etc.. It seems unaffected.

    It seems that it is something in user 2 settings (although nothing has been knowingly changed).

    All the regular MS updates installed.

    Advice please.

    Mine is simular.
