First, let me say how much I’ve loved Weather Watcher in the past. I recently upgraded to the version 6 beta due to my old version 5 no longer retrieving forecasts no matter what settings I chose.
However, I ran into a serious bug on my PC. After installation, I got all sorts of freezes and odd things happening such as the following:
-
Word and Excel don’t start right away when trying to open. A delay occurs that averages about 20 seconds. And clicking on an XLSX or DOCX file does absolutely nothing.
-
I can no longer get My Computer to show half the time, even after rebooting. I double click and nothing shows up. Sometimes the same kind of delay as #1 occurs also.
-
Other strange freezing such as with the taskbar not responding, etc, and explorer.exe crashing.
It really reminded me of window focus issues and that Weather Watcher was somehow interfering.
After uninstalling Weather Watcher Live, all works just fine again. The version I tested with was 0.0.35 and I just installed it a day or two ago.
