Cant MS get anything right

What the hell is up with RSS Feeds for the sidebar It never updates I have 3
PCs and all are the same. The only time they update is when You create
another user. Other than that all I see is the same old news what a piece of
crap

I thought RSS software was a 3rd party solution, not a MS solution?

It is annoying -- I set up the feed from msn weather, and now I have 2 weeks
of 'current conditions'. They never leave. Going to the options allows me to
select 1 feed or all feeds and there are a bunch of msn spam feeds that I
don't want (and can't figure out how to get rid of).

One location only? And no forecasts? Am I missing something in configuring
this weather bug gadget????

Should just have to right click the gadget then type in your zip code and
hit search
select the station you want then hit OK

I guess Microsoft not getting ANYthing right was a lie, huh?


Over reacting is not a good problem solving tool.

Hehe. Just part of the Windoze experience. Pure incompetency.

You do know that the settings for the feeds are controlled and configured in
Internet Explorer. They are also subject to the way they are set up on the
providing web server.

Well Thank the Lord, At last someone who understands how all this works --
So I need the weather gadet to show me tempratures for 3 different locations
(rotating or whatever) -- so mr mvp, show me how to configure it. Please.

 

[Ronnie Vernon MVP]

Place 3 Weather Gadgets on the Sidebar and set the locations to whatever you
prefer.

In MS's eyes, whether it works or not is irrelevant, but it sure is pretty
isn't it?
