I got this as a gift. It came without a software disk. After emailing customer support I got a link to the the following software:

http://www.box.net/shared/static/6o8ihesobp.exe

I downloaded this software.  It brings up the software images on my screen ... I can enter my home location in the software ... but the software never connects to the internet ... so I star all over again.  The installation and troubleshooting guide for this software can be found at:

This gadget is supposedly compatible with Windows 7.  I am running Windows 7 Pro on my HP Computer.

    I just got one for $14.99 at Boscovs in Plymouth Meeting, Pa. December 26 2011.  It came packed with Version1.01.  I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits and it installed perfectly.  I set it up for two cities, local and Minneapolis my son's home.  What I noted which might help some it took about 10 minutes to link up, it's not fast.  I put the receiver next to the transmitter on the floor during the linking process.  After that I moved it 20 feet away and its good.  If you disconnect from 120v source it still works but you must hit snooze/mode button for an illuminated display I'm not sure if there is another way.  If you hit pc it starts link up proces over but does relink in a few minutes.   One aspect I see as a con, it does not support any country South of the US in the Western Hemisphere.  Other than that it's a good product.I'm sure if you contact SI at 1-888-856-6781 they can provide a download.

    I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit..With Xp, the weather station worked great. I never had any issues. Now I can't get it started in Windows 7. The version I am using is version 1.0.0. I noticed that there is a 64 bit version, 1.02. I am hoping its a newer version and maybe thats why I can't connect. How can I get a copy of this newer version?
