Weather docklet failure
How can I fix it?
Wednesday, March 16, 2005 by topouzid | Discussion: ObjectDock
The weather docklet worked fine until there was a power failure and the computer switched off without a proper shutdown. Since then, all I get from the docklet is: "Weather information unavailable". I uninstalled/reinstalled object dock, deleted all files from stardock folder before reinstalling, rebooted the computer several times, changed country code, but still, Weather information unavailable. How can I fix this?
If I click on the N/A weather icon, it gets me to the correct page with the info I need (http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/local/GRXX0019) so I guess their service is not unavailable, but something must have happened to one of the objectDock's values in registry maybe, and the values are not deleted on uninstall. Is there anything I can do?

topouzid, I just installed this over the old weather docklet. Here's the link...

Just delete your current weather docklet from your dock, unzip this one into the Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets\Weather folder. Mine's working now...

My Weather docklet stopped working too. I reinsatlled the one available from the Object Dock webpage but the configure menu is now different and does not allow me to choose the weather icons. The .dll that is currently available is a smaller file than the one I had prviously and has fewer options. Does anyone know of a better solution. I'd like to have the option of using other weather icons.

All Right! Thanks for the fix! My Weather docklet also went "na" about two weeks ago. I tried the .zip download by unzipping it as you suggested, it didn't work at first...I ended up with the old and new .dll in the folder...I then deleted all but the Icons, unzipped a new copy, deleted the .zip file and empty shell, and it worked like a charm. Many thanks for the tutorial. T Smith, Idaho Falls, ID

Recently I downloaded the latest version. I found this problem has been fixed and it works normally.
But I could not find any information on this in Startdock homepage.
