Hi Dane. More feedback
I was having trouble with your gadget stopping reading from the realtime.txt across my local network so I changed it back to read the realtime.txt from my website but that also stops updating intermittently and I have to shut down the gadget and restart it to get it working.

Terry - same here. I don;t upload realtime.txt to any of my web sites but have access to it across my internal network. It seems to run anywhere from about 20 minutes to an hour before hanging. Only killing and then restarting the app will get it going again.

I have it running via my internal lan as well, and yes there are times it goes blank. only thing i have put it down too, is the gadget is trying to read the realtime.txt file the same time it's being updated by cumulus. I fixed this by offsetting the update time of the gadget to be a few seconds away from the realtime update time.

In saying that, i still get the odd blank gadget refresh, but it doesn't hang anymore

Dane knows about the local network problem....I was just saying that the Internet update also fails but nowhere near as often as the LAN.

Mine did this once a couple of weeks ago. Restarting the gadget didn't help, I had to reboot the PC and then it all worked again. That is the only time it has refused to update.

I checked via ftp to my remote folder where the weather data is stored and the realtime.txt file was there and was up to date.

Strange - but its only done it once for me and not since.

Hi
I have only just switched to windows 7 so havent been able to try this gadget. I have downloaded the file, but when I rename it .gadget, nothing happens - can you give me any further advice regards that.

cheers

Just click on it (or double click) to install it

When you renamed the file to cumulusih.gadget did the icon change from a stack of books to the icon shown in the documentation for the gadget?
If no: you did not rename it correctly.
If yes: double-click the gadget to install it.

Hi
Yes certain I renamed it correctly - icon didnt change at all
Mind you it wasnt a stack of boots to start with just an ordinary folder

You mean it did not look like this?

If so, the download from the 1st post of this thread must have gone wrong.
After renaming, it should look like this:

If you run Win XP it can't handle gadgets , gadgets are supported by Vista and Windows 7.
