I have 2 Dell Windows Professional PCs on which I run active desktop content,
web pages to be specific. I had assigned schedules to the active desktop web
pages such that they were updating every 5 minutes. All had worked well for
quite some time.
About 2 weeks ago or so, the active desktop web page content on both
machines stopped auto-updating. For what it's worth, the two machines are in
totally different buildings and on totally different networks, cable versus
corporate ethernet. Anyway, I determined that I could still right-click on
the desktop and manually force the content to update appropriately on both
machines.
On one of the machines I then opened up the desktop items list via the
Display Properties\Customize Desktop\Desktop Items\Web tab and noted that the
web pages were still at least listed. Then I went into the
Properties\Schedule tab for one of them and noted that it was set to update
"Only when I choose Synchronize from the Tools menu". I changed that setting
to "Using the following schedule(s):" and created a new schedule (since the
original one that had been working is gone) and assigned it to the desktop
item. After hitting the appropriate apply and OK buttons, I went back in and
the schedule that I had just created was once again gone and the desktop item
update setting was once again set to "Only when I choose Synchronize from the
Tools menu". I have tried fixing this several times with no success.
I am looking for tips or ideas concerning how to rectify this situation.
Thanks.
Duane
