These you must try: the digital Alarm clock....huge numbers with option for dynamic seconds, colors, brightness and of course it alarms(sound is programmable)...and it is slim.(my favorite) The other one is also digital clock for different countries...very slim. I installed two , one on top of the other(for London and Tokyo), The currency exchange , text Translator and table of equivalents for all units of measurements. And the weather channel...a must.

You can install more than you want to display and you can display back and forth as you wish. You must unstall the ones you really do not want because after a while they accumulate and occupy unnecessary space.

BTW, sidebar has page two, or three or I suppose as many as needed for too many gadgets. Only one page is displayed at a time.

What exactly isn't working? Are you following the tut step by step?

You have to have Tablet PC enabled and not disabled for it to work.

Yep...too complicated. I am getting stuck on posting after successful snipping. I think the parrot is tipping me off.

BTW, can you see the gadgets I snipped?

No, can't see any snips. I think some step is being missed here. Tell us exactly what steps you are taking.

ok here's the quick way to explain....

find the image you want to snip, move the red snipping rectangle over it & click the image of the floppy disc at the top..

save it to your pictures....

then close all the snipping windows, go to your browser & when you are about to type your post, click the ''paperclip'' icon at the top of the post taskbar....

click on an empty slot & navigate to ''my pictures''

upload the snip you just saved, once uploaded it will show in the bottom of the attachment box

to get this image in your post put the cursor back on the post window, click the paperclip again & you'll see the image you just uploaded, click on it & it should be placed within the post box....

& thats it...:D

EDIT: i was a bit slow off the mark there

I have snipped and filed it to Pictures folder. I have prob posting it to Forum reply space. I tried to drag it but IE comes out with this (this time I filed to desktop):

C:\Users\Antonio\Documents\Desktop\Capture.JPG

I am sure I can mail this as attachment...but FORUM has no provision for attachment.
