Windows 7 Weather Gadget not working?

Jade

l'm using Windows 7 64 bit. Just out of nowhere, the weather gadget says "Not Available". l tried removing and putting it back again. It will not show the weather for Chicago, IL. What can l do? l don't have any specific anti-virus or virus blocker besides Microsoft Security Essentials (yeah l know, not good enough protection...)

How can l get the weather gadget working again? :(
@nikkai, microsoft's site isn't down...l wish that was the problem though. =[

Answer
The weather gadget takes its info from the net and so that may be where the problem is in that the info is not being sent to you because the site is down or being updated
Just a thought

What is the name of this weather reading gadget?

A Worshipe

It has a:
Thermometer.
Barometer--I know measures in millibars& it gauges the pressure,
this much I know.
& a Humidity measuring device?
Is the name 'Springfield' a reliable maker?
How do I use the key to set the barometer?
I got 1 & the key is still attached on back.
It just didn't come w/ the book for it.
2nd hand.
And isn't it the barometer has to go down &
the humidity level go up; then its gonna rain? Right?
Steven P what r u talkin' about?! ?????
This is a Q about a weather gauge!
I know I answered a Q about cops being scary, & if ur not a woman or EVER Been Raped! Don't! Tell! Me! I don't recognize a man hittin' on me!!!
Like when a lawyer I had hired, he closed the door & put his hand on my shoulder, whilst gently pulling my hair back off of my shoulder.
Saying things that have nothing to do w/ what's really going on. Like u now, w/ this Q. What does 1 have to do w/ the other??!?!? You weren't there. You don't know what all happened, I coulda shortened it, for time's sake. Or just to save space in general. Aren't YOU a Witness? Brother? What kinda of way is that to treat a woman? True Christian?
U can't even get it straight!, the 2a.m. cop was seperate from the 1 that kept using my name. I didn't say either 1 of them wanted my body; HELLO? I was sitting in a car, neither 1 of them could see my body YOU DUNCE! Wake! Up! & Go insult ur own momma like that; or how about 1 of ur sister's, never mind u already did! Bc if u r a witness, I am ur sister!!!!
Rape is a Violent crime! Go check it out!
In the answer to that Q I didn't say I was raped or even implied it. When a man of authority abuses that authority YOU tend to NOT TRUST Cops!!! I "see" it when I'm w/ my friends and/or family that are darker than myself. Or how about a cop saying "that can't be ur brother he's black" And What!!!! My family IS Multi-racial.Phillipino,Irish,Native Am., German,Egyptian,Jewish,Welsh,Greek,Spainards,Columbians,French,
Oh Yeah and Black. This is just my immediate family;mom/dad brothers/sisters; nephews & neices.
And generally, if a man sees u and approaches you his 1st instinct is NOT to Harm/ rape her. It's to strike up a conversation & see how friendly she is, as a starting point. And don't think I hate cops, cuz that ain't it at all!!! My husband's family is full up w/ them. I even said "if you don't know the cop personally, u don't know if he is a good cop."
What is your problem man?
thk u avi, & no I don't know this guy. I had answered a Q about allfred hitchcock saying that cops are scary; and I ask this Q & he goes wacko! And for grlsshdow,thk u; yeah, I'm Not saying I'm some raving beauty queen, but, I sure am pretty. All my moms girls are very attractive.& I don't keep it a secret (here @Y/A's)that I used 2 b a stripper; so I gotta have something going on ? *#^=+ u know what I mean???
last nite, the last time I got puuled over popped into my head; all the officer said was he got a report about a blk truck Bumping music; I was in a grey truck. The 2nd cop asked me what kind of system was in the truck; I told him "its a workman's class series truck, whatever came in it, thats what its got", the cop w/ my D.L. came back and said "whats a pompano"
I looked @ him So queer, I said "Pompano Beach, its a city in Broward Co." He said "if u can tell me what a pompano is, I'll let u go", I said "its a fish," yeah, a few mins., later I was rollin' down the St. Also, to Steven P; the cop was Not asking me Q's that had to do w/ legality, oh no. It was more along the lines of, "So, is this ur current address Bambi", "r u married,Bambi", "oh this is ur hsbnd's truck Bambi", There is no reason to address me by my name after each Q. Like I had said in the other Q; he kept saying my name, repeatedly. Which I thought to myself, "either this guy likes me (my face) or my name"
So, its "Not" that I wasn't giving him the right answer as u put it Steven P. I answer each Q asked, Directly.

Answer
One can't help but get the impression that you and Steven know each other outside of Y!A, and have some kind of inside story going. It's rude to waste our time talking about something we don't know about.

The instrument you describe is a type of thing generally called a "home weather station." If it is in good working order, it will be useful and decorative.

The barometer has an adjustment for your altitude, and that is probably what the key adjusts. To use it, you must find out what the current barometer reading is at your location. You can get this from the National Weather Service at www.nws.noaa.gov. Enter your zip code and the web site will bring up an information page for your city. Part of that will be "current conditions," and will include temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, winds, and other information.

Use the key to adjust the barometer so that it reads the same as the weather service reading for your location. If that doesn't work or you can't find the information, you can try your local TV or radio station. You may have to fiddle with it some to get it to adjust properly.

And yes, if the humidity is increasing and the barometer is falling, rain is likely. For much more information, try an internet search on "weather instruments."

Good luck.
