My Windows 7 weather gadget on my desktop has changed color

Anonymous

After installing Internet Explorer 11 via Windows Update, I restarted the computer and my weather gadget had turned pink and blurry. Did I do something wrong? Any help would be nice.

Some users say that gadgets work fine again when they change the DPI (Display Size Settings) to 100% Smaller Fonts. How you do that is described here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/443-dpi-display-size-settings-change.html

I am pretty sure that that swell ME OS had something to do with it :)

Take it back up to IE11, lose the weather gadget and use this one..

Weather Network.. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather-apps/pc

This one sits in the notification area.

The clue re gadgets was the removal of the Windows Gadget store and a warning that some gadgets may not be safe to use..

no problem, if I remember correctly the problem with IE 5.5 was that it couldn't run Active X properly or some such nonsense.

Thanx pokebud..........everything worked fine, I am back to ver. 10. I think the last time I reverted back in IE was in 2001 when I had Windows ME, my processor speed was 700mhz, a whopping 64 mbs of some kind of RAM, and a 30 gb hard drive. Actually, it was a nice system, better than Windows 3.0. I think I went from IE 5.5 to 5.0.
