Lottery Results Gadget ProblemPrevious TopicNext Topic

For some reason my gadget isn't working anymore it's not showing up even when I uninstalled and re-install it are there some technical problems with it?

No, it's working great.  Check your firewall software to be sure the Sidebar is not being blocked.

Yeah I tried that all the other gadgets work except the Lottery Results Gadget when I re-install it I just get a blank display,so I don't think it's the Firewall plus I installed it a month ago and it worked just fine up until a few days ago.This is wierd oh well I'll tinker around with it until I figuer out what's wrong

It also could be a browser problem.  The gadgets use IE7 to render, so if you've done anything different to IE7, like change config or install plugin(s), it could afect the gadgets.  Be sure you have not disabled "Active Scripting" (JavaScript).  Also make sure that the native XMLHTTP support is enabled and security settings are not set too high. 

There are Reset/Default buttons in most of the IE7 options panels, so you can try using those.

The Lottery Results Gadget is more advanced technology-wise than most gadgets out there (certainly all the ones that come packaged with Vista), so it is more sensitive to components that are disabled or changed.

That might be the problem I'm running AOL Explorer as my default webrowser instead of IE7 I think I'll change that setting and see what happens
