    This may be a stupid question, but how do I get the weather widget working? It says that it cannot connect to the service, and yet I am seemingly unable to do anything about it. Can anyone help me with this? :?

    Widgets for Windows 7 are so old that I wonder if the service or the URL your widget is using is still alive online :think:

    I don't think the service is around anymore. The problem is that I can't seem to change the service provider.

    Use this gadget, it's mostly the same as Windows 7's built-in one and was also produced by Microsoft: http://win7gadgets.com/weather/weather.html
