I’m having a problem getting weather updated this morning. If i try to update or change cities, the little window pops up that says ‘downloading weather info’ but nothing happens. Weather doesn’t update or the city doesn’t change. In task manager it shows two dl processes for a few seconds, along with ww.exe. Any idea what is the problem?
By the way I have checked my firewall settings, re-installed Weather Watcher and I can access weather.com to get the forecasts.
I did uninstall WW, delete the entire folder, then reinstall. I was able to update one time. Since then, everytime I try to update or switch cities I get the “server not found”. I also get this if I try to add a city.
I think next I will do a total uninstall(before I kept my map history,cities history etc.), check the registry for any WW listings,restart my computer and reinstall again.
Before this happened i had a BSOD which of course is rare with XP,so perhaps that is the cause.
Anyway, I will let you know what happens but it may take a day or two.
Yes, Ed I did that - still have the problem. I think the BSOD was because of excess heat issues, which I think are solved. Everything else seems to be working ok.
Ed, everything else seems to be working fine. I do have a firewall and an AV that seem to be working properly.
I installed Weather Pulse to see if it would work. It does update weather properly, but something strange happens. It automatically downloads a satellite photo showing weather conditions. I saw it the first time I ran the program, but every other time it shows a download error and doesn’t display the photo. It does show the foresasts however.
Does this give you a clue?
Try shuting down WW, deleting both WW entries from the firewall then restarting WW. Respond to each fw prompt to Allow and to Remember. Maybe there is somethng in the fw that needs to be reset.
Yay! Weather watcher works now! I was away on vacation for a few days and when I returned it still didn’t work. But today after installing all the new Windows updates it started working again. As I said I was using Weather Pulse which is a pretty good program, but not as good as Weather Watcher.
