ObjectDock Weather Docklet Incorrect Days

Just tried this and it corrected the problem.  On an XP Home SP3 32-bit system running Object Dock Plus.

Thank you very much. 

Me too on XP sp3 32bit

Yay, fix worked on WinXP SP3!

Worked for me as well...Vista SP1 (32 bit)

Thanks for the fix.(Vista SP1) 

Thanks, that worked for me on 32-bit XP Pro.

For those interested, here is the old weather docklet that uses Weather.com instead of Accuweather.  It doesn't have the same nice fly out tiles, but I find it more accurate in my area. Unzip/extract the folder and place it in your ObjectDock\Docklets folder, it will then show up in Dock Settings under Docklets as "XML Weather Docklet".

Thanks Kend0

This has been anoying me too.  Just goes to show it's worth hunting around the Forums for useful information.

Thanks,

It worked for me on a Vista ultimate 64, without SP1 (could not get SP1 installed, even with Microsoft help)

Worked for me as well.  Thanks for the heads-up. 

Another thanks here, that was kind of annoying me! (Vista x64, OD+ B537u)

I have Windows XP and I don't seem to have the right applications to download the patches for the weather dock

This isn't a patch but rather a file replacement for a "workaround' one of the current troubles of Object Dock. It will not execute to update Object Dock.

The instructions are to replace a file with in the Object Dock install folders.

"Download this replacement stardockweather.ocx file:

http://sd.stardock.com/ken/stardockweather.ocx

and save it to your ObjectDock install folder (C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock). Open up ObjectDock and check the weather docklet. This may not work for everyone as it is a temporary workaround."


Please try this out and let us know if it does not work for you.

Hi,

I'm a new user of Objectdock I had the same problem as all others above.

I've just downloaded the new file, and now I have (we are Wednesday): Today, Tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

So thanks a lot.

My computer with Win XP SP3.

Happy new year to you all.

Reference reply #6 from inyearstocome, I went to that link to get the old weather docklet but when I clicked download I got the following message.

THE FILE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LINK HAS EXPIRED..

Know of any other place I can get it?

Reply #12 still works - http://sd.stardock.com/ken/stardockweather.ocx

Great!  This worked a treat!!

Finally.... weather docklets!!

I was having a slightly different issue in that my weather icons didn't seem to want to update (or show any data for that matter) after the system came back from standby.  It seemed like it just couldn't connect to the internet, even though all of my other programs could.  Forcing it to update didn't do anything either, since it would just say that the data/feed was not available.  I always had to close ObjectDock and then run it again, which would fix the issue immediately.

Anyway, I figured that I'd give this fix a try and it looks like it's working.  I just tested going to standby after switching the ocx file and restarting Objectdock to make sure that the new docklet was loaded into memory, and so far it looks to be working properly.

Thanks.

Works perfectly for me, Vista 32-bit sp1. Thanks for the workaround.

Thanks - did the trick for me.

Thanks for the fix.(Vista SP1) 

Glad to hear this is still helping out. About the only time it does not seem to help is when a country has multiple cities of the same name. The docklet to just defaults to one and you do not get to choose.

Also worked for me. Thank you Kend0..I came here looking for a fix and found it.

Thank you for your time on this!

Greetings everyone!!  New to Stardock Object Dock and can't get the weatherdock to work either.  Keeps telling me "no internet connection".  I followed the previous instructions and still nothing.  I'm not a savvy computer guru so could someone please help me?? thank you so much beforehand!!!
