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

    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.

    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
