I got a pop up about it a couple of days ago. What is it? And how can it help me? I tried to play around with it, and ended up deleting it. Has anyone else tried it out? Do you like it?
Yahoo widgets?
Yeah, its a new kind of technology. It shows cool actual clocks, dates, schedule events, pictures. What was your reason for deleting it? As for me I thought I found it interesting...

Yahoo! Widgets problem?
F8 brings your Widgets forward. Unfortunately, due to how Windows' APIs are set up, the Widgets can't be sent back to the desktop level by the engine... So you're basically stuck with the current behavior, even in other widget engines, until Microsoft provides a better facility for manipulating window levels.
However, if you're working in a web browser, for example, clicking on the browser window after dismissing Heads Up Display will bring the browser window in front of your Widgets

Widgets Picture Frame Error: Yahoo! 1005: Bad Arguments - how can solve this to c my pict.?
Make sure that you have your firewall set so that the installer can get the files it needs.
You might also want to run a spyware checker. This kind of thing happens when your computer has spyware on it and you try to install the Widget Engine.
If you still hve problems contact the Widget Support folks.

What's the best widget application? Google Desktop/Sidebar, Yahoo Widgets(konfabulator), or Microsoft Gadgets?
Yahoo Widgets are very good. Microsoft Gadgets don't exist yet -- They'll come out when the next version of Windows (Vista) comes out. I didn't know that Google Sidebar had this kind of functionality.
Is there any other widgets than yahoo widgets?
yes. google has a ton of them and they are easy to use, plus you can see what other people have said about them and avoid the ones that don't work properly

I really want a widget engine , is there a different version than yahoo widgets that doesnt take up so muchCPU
I don't understand your CPU question. I am running the widget engine and several widgits. The overhead is very low. Less then 1 percent most of the time.
Try disabling your widgets one at a time. You might have one that is a resource hog.

Widgets claim no network connection when trying to sign in?
You have to restart your computer.

There are several ways you can check network connections....
you have to get to a command line, and this applies only to PC's....
you get a DOS prompt and type in ipconfig/all if you have some flavor of Windows running. that command will tell you what your ip address is, your gateway to the internet and if you are connected, it will give you at least one DNS entry for the ISP's server. If you get that info, and have and DNS address, then do the following next.
type in ping (the dns ip address) like this...ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
the command sends out 4 ICMP requests to that server which will be answered back (unless the ISP is blocking those) if you have at least 2 answers back, you have a bit of network issues, latency or line level issues, or similar problems whether dsl or cable.
If you get four answers back that the server actually answers...try ping www.yahoo.com if you can reach one of their servers, you have good internet connection.
If none of the above works, but you are getting browser contact to the internet with no problem, it's quite possibly a routing issue between your ISP and the next hop out. They may have done that intentionally...if so, you'll have to contact the tech folks for your ISP.
If none of the above works, then you don't have a good internet connection and you need tech support or a service call to get the connection problem fixed.
To help the ISP, if you own a router between your modem and your computer...shut it and your PC down for about a minute. then restart the router, wait about a minute and start your computer....then re run the DOS commands above and see if the browser works. Lots of times, the router will lose connection for a second or so, then can't reestablish because of a freeze in the firmware on the router.
If you own the router, you'll be responsible for it's malfunction...if the ISP owns it and you lease it, then you will have to get them to talk you through any issues on it.
Hope this helps....though network connectivity problems can be a bugger.
