    I have Weatherbug. The only way I can get it to update is by moving my cursor over it. Is there any way to get it to update automatically without me having to put my cursor on top of it?

    My weather location is Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

    Thanks...

    I would go with AccuWeather Gadget. It's the best IMO.

    There are three versions, install this version. You can click on it for a five day forecast without it going to a browser.

    Why don't you use the weather program that came with vista. It looks the best, and gives me the same results as the others. If you want an extended forecast just un-dock it.

    The default one has proven to be unreliable for many users including myself.

    How so? I find it to be quit reliable. Though after my initial test i uninstalled the others, it should still be accurate.

    I want it to be docked.

    The default one does not show enough information and the information it does show is quite unreliable.

    I had something interesting happen with the default, when I changed the temp from C to F the weather it was reporting changed from cloudy to rain. :err: It changed back when I change the temp again.

    I'm currently using AccuWeather and hands down it is THE BEST.

    I think the default one gives me clear weather to much. One time it was raining dogs outside and my gadget gave me nice clear sunny weather :-D
    Temperatures are OK most of the time

    The default one really does suck.
    I highly suggest AccuWeather.
