Thanks to all for the replies. I picked location is Utica as the closest to me, and it IS listed under locations. That's what puzzled me: why is Utica listed if data is not supported?

Anyway, it sounds like you've identified the problem, no data for your location or perhaps the data is there and the weather applet can't access it. Where are you located? I presume that your location is not listed in the Location tab. Are you located near enough to a location that is listed for it to be adequate? I would suggest going to the official web site but I don't know where it is or if it even exists. Good luck. Donald D.
