digidep, I'm not sure what's up. I have 2.2, and my zip code is exactly like yours (47906) and it works.

It's cool, Matrox. Just giving you a hard time. Well worth the trouble, my friend! :D

BTW, DesktopWeather still freezes on me occasionally, and I have to shut it down in task manager. Just giving you the heads up.

wow, lol, now i'm really starting to get scared. three people with 47906 zip codes in the same thread! :p mine seems to update fine, but it still seems to "stop responding" every couple hours. i haven't figured out any single thing that causes it.

cheers,

Hey, great program you have made here..

I have a few suggustions.. would it be possible to impliment a HTML link that you can enter the webpage of the site that gives you weather? The reason I am asking/suggusting this is because I am from Canada, and weather.com don't have my town on it, but weather.ca does. I don't know how you wrote this to read the data from weather.com, but I was wondering if it would be possible to have it work on weather.ca also? or for me to enter the webpage of my town from weather.ca through an html link. just a suggustion, other than that its great! Excellent work!

Also, if you enter the wrong thing in the country code box, then you get the error 13, and I can't seem to figure out how to remove errored typing and enter the correct code. Any help?

For all you getting that error 13 message go into your registry and go the the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareVB and VBA Program Settings" and there should be DesktopWeather entry there, delete that key and re-run Desktop weather and it might work for you, did for me anyway. You'll have to reconfigure everything though. and if there is no desktopweather entry there, search the registry for weather until you find it!

I did that... but everytime I reenter my location code I've got the same message again and again....

I'm in France and my code is FRXX0016

I'm not certain, but I think that it is only when it says tonight that it does not display a high temperature. This is normal for all weather reports regarding the night, since it is always (I'm sure there MAY be an exception to this) cooler at night and it is really only important to know what the low will be, since whatever the current temp is, it probably won't get warmer until it is the next day anyway. If you look at the Weather Channel web site, it is exactly the same way.

ahhh, sonofagun. :mad: i just came to say that after starting b2.2, it hadn't "stopped responding" yet. and as soon as i got to this page, i got the error code 13 type mismatch error. lol. well i'm gonna try deleting the reg entry, and see if that helps.

cheers,

joe

::EDIT:: After deleting the reg key, DW gives me the code 13 error right away every time i try to start it :(

I got another error 13 and now i get it every time I try to start the program. I haven't restarted the computer since the second instance, the first in this long neverending string of errors. I'm sure it will go away when I restart, so that suggests that once it breaks it says broke until a restart, perhaps a memory conflict or something. Some of the programs I have going are Norton AV, Zone Alarm Pro 3 Beta, Direct CD, the MS Virtual Desktop manager and audio player, and True Launch Bar, plus I am always running IE6 and a Perfect Disk service is loaded. Any similarities to anyone else getting the errors?

DoubleJ, the only similiarity I see with me is IE6.  I almost always have an IE6 window upen.

same here...:(

Even after I restarted the computer it wouldn't start. It is almost like the program rewrote itself or something. I tried shutting everything else down and it wouldn't work. Hopefully Matrox will get the same error when he is running it in debug mode. For now, back to beta 2, that one still works. A though just occured to me, maybe it has something to do with the time of day. I don't remember exactly when if failed permanently, but I think it was around midnight. Anyone else know what time it stopped working?

    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
