ObjectDock Weather Docklet not working anymore

Sunday, May 11, 2008 by kratonator | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Hi all.

I had OD running for over one and a half years now and the weather docklet always worked. Since Thursday or Friday it only displays "Weather Information not Available". Is there somenthing wrong with weather.com?

Nope...but, good try. Thanx.
Know where I can find: StardockWeather.ocx?

 

*Solved! Found stardock.ocx, downloaded and put on OD Program file, closed and reopened the OD+

and *poof....there it was working. Wonder why it wasn't there before all this?

You mean the original one that came with OD? The replacement is named the same thing when you install it.Btw,are you using32bit or 64bit?

Edit: Some days being a Wizard is hard work!

Worked for me on Vista Ultimate 64 (of course had to copy to Program Files (x86)\Stardock\ObjectDock\stardockweather.ocx on that operating system).  Thanks.

I tried DRJHBL's way, but no go.. weather docklet on this PC still saying still N/A though Accuweather's feed works fine on DX weather widgets. No weather prob. on my other PC's Objectdock & both PC's use identical setups... wierd.

that was awesome!  thanks for the fix.  I also found it helps to type in the town and state, rather than the zipcode

All weather widgets that used Weather dot coms feed will no longer work. See THIS thread. There are some new ones in the gallery that comply with the new terms of use.

As a note, the stardockweather.ocx will NOT fix the gadgets using weather.com.

Hi all,

 

I have been using Weather docklet for a long time but It just stopped working yesterday. Is there an issue about it or it just happened in my computer?

 

Thank you.

hasan_hzl Please follow my intructions in reply #37. Click the link to download the weather ocx file,then place it where instructed. When it asks if you want to replace the existing one select "yes" then restart OD.That should fix you up.
