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 ditto this.............. after setting the 'home city' data under the HOME WEATHER TAB, this app

    is running fine on WINDOWS 7. The only issue seems to be the updating of data to the display

    seems a bit slow, but the data on the PC is updated instantly!

    Hello All,

    Stefan, I am no programmer, however I am in college and have several friends who are quite good. Have you considered creating a completely 3rd party program to run on the PC that will update the display with whatever data we want? If this is not something you're not interested in doing, I have a couple of friends that would probably be willing to tackle this sort of project. I saw earlier in the thread that it was using C calls. Is there any data, code, info, suggestions, etc that you, or any of you in the thread, would be willing to offer up? I will see my friend David several times this week at work and I just know he'd be into messing with something like this. feel free to email me at my ID: k i 4 v u o at g m a i l dot c o m.

    I just got this thing for my wife and am very dissappointed that it's reallly a piece of **** because of lousy software.
