Has the Weather Gadget service/feed been stopped ?

I've noticed the last few days that the weather gadget is unchanging in its display (and the weather here certainly is) and so I tried putting different locations into it. When I search for a new location it says "service unavailable".


Anyone else having trouble. I wondered if the service had finally been axed tbh.

Do not know if it has been axed, but another member has the same problem.

Thanks, that's interesting to know. If I turn anything up I'll post it here. I can "prove" it by quickly reinstalling Vista and seeing if it works (the current set up is imaged). If it had been axed though then no point.

I will see what I can find, too.

Many thanks for that. Its a good read with a lot of unhappy bunnies :)

I'll probably have a look and try some of the suggestions tomorrow as my Vista install is on an older laptop.

I tried the quick fix of opening and saving the xml file as mentioned in post #29 in your link aove and that seems to have restored normal operation. Whether (or weather :)) it will be a permanent fix remains to be seen.


Thanks again for the link.
