    edit - Im 95% sure I know why they were not working. Occasionally to get around download limits I would use Internet Explorer with a proxy. I just figured this out because they started working all of a sudden (I just put in a working proxy). This also explains them all of a sudden not working. Yay! :) Didnt know the gadgets depended on IE

    Yes it is true many Gadgets depend on IE (Internet Explorer) to work properly for accessing the Internet. Especially our SevenForums Gadget

    I read all this and what I have is still not working. I have gadgets that monitor the "dollar value" and it works. Other like Oil Price Monitor and Weater Gadget do not. Any ideas? thanks...
