Two of my three desktop Vista gadgets -- stock prices and foreign
currency -- have stopped working most of the time in recent
days, giving "Service not available" messages. Yet my third widget --
local weather -- is mostly working fine.



The same problem exists on two Vista machines at different locations.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any solution ideas?

I have received the same "Service not available" messages in the past few
days, but it corrects itself with no action on my part.
