Parsing error
sysmetrix
Sunday, November 14, 2010 by JuniorCrooks | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have noticed recently uploaded sysmetix skins with working weather but I am getting the parsing error for any location. I am using the latest version of sysmetrix. Does the url need to be changed from this http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl?cccc=[METARCODE] to something else?

Darco you should not have any problems with the 3.44 version. That is stable and I have been using it for months now. I would suggest doing an uninstall and deleteing any left over files you can find. Then reinstall 3.44. I do not think that will help with the weather problem though. I think the metadata has changed. I read somewhere about making a change to the url that I posted but cannot find it. I think it had to do with just insirting html in the code but so far my efforts have been usless so it appears I am barking up the wrong tree.

JuniorCrooks,
Thanks for answering my plea for help. I did not uninstall the 3.43 because it said not to, but it would not install and when I rebooted it couldn't find some file. Needless to say I am computer illiterate, so when I unlocked it and rebooted again, I just left it alone with 3.43. If 3.44 doesn't have the weather either because of some parsing error. I will just leave well enough alone rather than lose my SysMetrix. I have used them for years and really like them. I can always use the Desktop X weather or Gadgets Weather. I just thought there might be some fix that someone knew, but I guess most of it is better than nothing. It is really a helpful little gadget and am so grateful to Xymantix for making it.
Thanks again,
Darco

I am getting the same error, my weather stopped working and I am using 3.43, I tried installing the latest 3.44 thinking that might help but I almost broke my computer. It wouldn't install. I am using Windows XP SP2. Firefox. If anyone knows what is going on I would appreciate knowing what to do.
Thanks Darco
