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

    This is rediculous, running a computer online has just as much danger as running the gadget.  doesn't matter whether its a gadget or not.  anything that runs while connected online is a danger..Common sense.  They are just screwing those of us who like the few apps that Windows 7 ran so those of us who have brand new computers running on Windows 7 will purchase and upgrade to 8.. I am upset I lost my weather tracker gadget and my PC monitor.. But they will not get my money for 8.  My other laptop runs on XP its worked fine and is about become obsolete as of April... The purpose of 7 was supposedly to run these gadgets and make things more inventive, now they've gotten rid of the novelty of 7 altogether saying it was a security problem..Bah thats the biggest lie.  ANyone know where I can get a weather tracker for my desktop?

    All you have to do is uninstall IE11 and downgrade back to IE10

    It's very simple, all you do is go to Windows Update

    Click Installed Updates in the bottom left hand corner

    In the Search Bar at the very top right, simply type in Internet Explorer and it should pop right up.

    Then uninstall Internet Explorer 11, it will downgrade you back to IE10.

    If you want to prevent windows from automatically updating you back to IE11 go to Help>About Internet Explorer and uncheck Install new versions automatically then press OK

    This works, it must be a bug with IE11....pfff, go figure!

    Thank you pokebud
