  • 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?

    In addition, this may seem random, I know, but could you try to disable the function of acceleration of Firefox the graphical device?

    You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

  • I want to delete some gadgets, but the button 'remove this gadget?' looks when I click 'delete the gadget' in the menu.

    I opened the menu of the gadget and click 'remove this gadget', white screen, but the secondary 'remove this gadget' button does not appear.

    I found myself having to go back to the old look and go sideways and open widgets. Then, I opened the gadget itself and clicked on his menu to delete. I know it's hard to make sense and I do not understand why it should be so much trouble.

  • Re: Satellite Pro P100-A4E - crashes with radio gadget

    Okey I installed windows 7 and it works quite stable, no overheating or whatever it is really awkward.
    The only problem I have is when I listen to the radio gadget windows gadgets that my computer sometimes freezes like a brick, forcing me to turn them off (using the powerbutton) and start again.

    In any case for all those who want to try windows 7:
    Install a laptop nvidia beta driver:
    The maximum temperature (and that's with a lot of different games) is 60 degrees Celsius, I can't it get over it. If you can go overboard, clean your vents with little compressed air to empty completely.
    Also all the vista drivers working for windows 7 is fully supported.

    Fun :)

    PS. If anyone knows how to solve my gadget question do not hesitate to post :) thx

    Hello

    First of all, I must say thank you for this interesting article on the laptop nVidia driver on Windows 7. :)

    Regarding your problem with the Windows radio gadget, I think it's a normal problem because this is not a final version. I think you should wait until Windows 7 comes out official.
    You can try to update the sound driver or the driver chipset but I doubt that it could help you

Does anyone else have the Gadget to stop working?

    UAC (User Account Control) is turned off? Gadgets will not work if you have turned off UAC you'll need to turn it back on it. If you still have questions after that only to try a system restore to a time where they worked as it may be a problem of corruption/system registry.
