Tray icon has a label of Mostly Cloudy. Icon is #4. Current Conditions, both Tooltip and WW window, state Heavy T-Storm and Windy.
Alerts. Same old, same old. If you hesitate to click on the Alert popup when you do you get a blank WW window.

What triggers the alerts? Are they sensed during a normal forecast update or is there a separate entity being tested? Can that entity be simulated?

I could try using the same settins that you have? If you want me to give that a try, please e-mail and or post the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Weather Watcher
quote:hmmmmm You may be right. They were out of sync a moment ago, and I hadn't booted all that long ago, I recycled WW and now they are equal again.

quote:!!! How do you know what city is experiencing an alert??? It's too bad you can't get WW to work with simulated input, that you create and can control.

quote:So, if I miss an alert I can simply click on Retrieve Weather and it will re-popup? Interesting work around.
The alerts pop up after the forecasts have been retrieved.
I was going to post my WW Registry key like you suggested but it’s 58KB!!! Holy crap!!! EVERYTHING is in the key including the kitchen sink!! As such I will Zip it and email it to you. Thanks. [:)]</font id=“size2”>

quote:That appears to indeed be the case. Current Condition is Partly Cloudy, tray icon matches, tray icon label says Fair, which is what it said when I restated WW hours ago. I manually Retrieved Weather and the tray icon label did not change. I recycled Weather Watcher and now everything is in sync.

Beta 10.1 (since it is a minor tweak) coming out tonight to fix that? [:)] </font id=“size2”>

I ttoo get a blank WW window when clicking on any balloon tip. For example I set it to show balloon tip when time observed changed and when clicking on that balloon I get a blank WW window. I can close and immediately open one by left clicking the icon and it is no longer blank. YOu should not need a Sever Alerts balloon to test.
Any balloon should give you a blank window. I get the same blank window when date observed balloon comes up.
Excellent news Jason. That consistency should help Mike a lot.
Thanks. [:)]

Also I have found that when you have the blank WW window (after clicking the tooltip) and you click the sun (current conditions) you get a runtime error 5: invalid procedure call or argument. I have not yet tried clicking on other views (i.e. hourly, forecast, etc.)
I posted in another thread, regarding the Runtime Error 5, but this thread actually makes more sense - EdP is pretty much describing my setup and problems to a T.

Jason, try the Date Observed balloon option with Beta 11. [8D] I was able to consistently get blank windows using your suggestion till Beta 11.
johngalt how’s B11 working for you?
Ed</font id=“blue”></font id=“size2”>
I have installed Beta 11 and everything appears to be working. I have not yet had occasion to test whether or not a blank window opens on a sever weather alert but most likely that is fixed as well. Great job Mike!
