Missing notes-gadget Windows 7?

Hello everyone :)

I installed Windows 7 and after a week I noticed that win7 doesn't have a notes-gadget like Vista. A friend of mine says there should be one called "sticky notes" - but i can't find it :(
(every other gadet like weather is there)

I hope you can help me.

PS: sorry for my bad english ^.^

Answer
It seems they removed the Gadget from Windows 7 and replaced it with a program called "sticky notes". You can search for it in the start menu. I'd rather have it as a gadget myself.

Jacob

Is there a gadget for windows 7 that has a streaming radar for weather?
All I can find are ones that either only show the forecast or ones that open up a radar in my browser, I want a radar that will open up in the gadget itself.

Windows 7 Weather Gadget Problem?

Daiel

Well, yesterday i was using my weather gadget to read the weather, but today as my laptop came on, all my weather gadget is showing is a letter i in a blue circle, and absolutley nothing else, like no background, nothing, wont let me do settings or anything. What am i meant to do to get this back because it was really usefull to me XD please help (picture below)

http://cid-529cdc56e3e917a8.photos.live.com/self.aspx/BROKEN%20GADGET%20SHIZZLE/DADUM.png

^^^^ Picture of what my gadget looks like

Answer
That gadget's crashed. To fix it, just remove it from your desktop and add it again - that should fix the problem, albeit only temporary. If that doesn't work, try a system restore - something might have changed on your computer that's broken the gadget. And if that fails too, you could always install one of the hundreds of other weather gadgets on Windows Live Gallery - I'm sure at least one of them will suit you.


... Or you could reinstall Windows entirely, which is a really big jump, and should only be done as a last resort - it'll lose you all your programs.

How do I make the temperature display in the System Tray?

Jordan Ray

I have Windows 7 on my laptop, and I need to have the outdoor temperature in Livonia, Michigan display in the system tray, along with the time and date. How do I get that?

Answer
Hi Jordan Rayburn,

Windows 7 provides weather gadget which can display temperature and weather conditions near your location on desktop. However, it cannot display temperature in system tray. I did some research online and found a few third party utilities capable of indicating temperature in system tray. For ex WeatherGopher, Weather Channel App etc. You may download WeatherGopher from http://bit.ly/1aHfQ7x and Weather Channel App from http://wxch.nl/ZNezUl.

Note : Dell has neither tested nor endorses the above applications.

Thanks & Regards,

What is the difference, between Windows Vista and Windows 7 ?

motherless

I am strongly considering upgrading my laptop from Vista to Windows 7, in the next few months or so. What are the main differences between the two operating systems ?. How many of you out there prefer Windows 7, and why ?. Do you think I would be making the right choice, by upgrading ?.

Answer
Aero Peek
allows Win 7 users to instantly make all the opened windows transparent. So let say, you want to see the weather on Windows 7 sidebar Gadget, this will be very useful.

New Taskbar
Windows 7 desktop will look different now because of the new taskbar. You can now reorder the opened Window buttons. It has Jump Lists feature which will allow you to access common programs very easily. And you can see the full screen preview before switching to a window.

Media Center
Win 7 comes with enhanced Media Center experience. It will have Internet TV which will telecast MSN channels by default and will have a desktop sidebar gadget for the same too.

Better and Faster Performance
One problem that we found with Vista, of course, was with performance. Vista loads so many programs at start-up that it creates an annoyingly slow boot-up sequence. Windows 7 will address this Vista flaw with fewer services that will launch at start-up, and these services will run in parallel. Hence, this results in a faster boot-up sequence leading to a more compact and yet very efficient Windows 7 OS. Microsoft also promises fewer system crashes in Windows 7 than in Windows Vista.

Less Storage Requirement
My favorite Windows 7 improvement has got to be this one - a lesser storage space requirement. We all know that Vista eats up a huge amount of space on your hard drive, something around 13.3GB. With Windows 7, the storage requirement has been reduced to around 7.4GB. In addition, the program files folder was significantly reduced in size. Less storage requirement equates to faster performance.

Where do I get the vista desktop sidebar for windows 7?

good weather gadget windows 7 image

Rin Medea

I have just gotten a new laptop with windows 7 as the operating system and I am used to the sidebar in vista that could show the weather/date/games etc. I have tried just to google it and did find something but it wasn't the same as the sidebar I got with vista. Is there a special website I can go to to install one?

Answer
Right-click the desktop and there should be an option labelled "Gadgets." They've been improved over Vista in that they're no longer confined to a sidebar. You can drag them anywhere on the screen now.

Why do some gadgets just not work in gmail that work in igoogle?

Josh

For example: I wanted to only use gmail rather than also using igoogle. So I tried to put the same weather gadget I used in igoogle in gmail. But it didn't work.

Is there any way to get past that, by changing the code in the gadget?

Answer
You can't drag any gadgets into gmail. If you want to view a weather gadget then install google desktop. Don't know about Mac, but Ubuntu and Windows Vista and 7 all have built in gadgets.
