• Vista Sidebar weather Gadget stuck

  A month or two ago, the time for 2 cities, I had chosen were stuck and never change.  Does anyone have a simple solution to this problem?  My other gadgets work fine.  Thank you.

  Hello, Craig

  Please use the Forum for answers!

  You can try to remove the weather gadget, close and restart the sidebar and add it again. To remove a gadget, right-click on it and choose Close Gadget. To close the sidebar, right click on the Sidebar icon in the system tray and choose Exit. To re-open the sidebar, go to start, all programs, accessories, and open Windows Sidebar. For re - add the gadget, click on the "+" at the top of the sidebar and click with the right button on the gadget and click Add.

  If this does not help, it updates if you choose Celsius (assuming you are using Fahrenheit)?

  What security software (firewall, anti-virus, etc.) that you use?

  We can't wait to hear back on your part.
