I downloaded the wunderground sidebar gadget, but it is not available for
loading up. Where do I need to put it for Vista to recognize it?

It doesn't recognize it. Windows opens up a window asking to search the
internet for a program that runs it.

Interesting - works for me here....are you sure the download is not
corrupted in any way?
 
The gadget you downloaded should have a name of ' wunderground.gadget '
The ' .gadget ' extension is important.
With the correct extension it should have an icon of a clock, calculator and yellow note symbol.
What is your download called and what does the icon look like ?

It is called wunderground.gadget and the icon is a blank page with the top
left corner turned toward me. The other gadgets are
AuctionSidebarTool.gadget, same icon, WundergroundVistaWidget.gadget, same
icon.
 
Double-click on the gadget.
Select ' Select a program from a list of programs '.
Select ' Always use the selected program to open this kind of file '.
Click on ' Browse '.
In the left pane browse to Program Files\Windows Sidebar.
In the right pane select sidebar.exe
Click on 'Open'.
Sidebar.exe should appear in the display box.
OK.

The plain icon should now change to a gadget icon and double-clicking it should
bring up the install dialog box.

Okay, that opens it, but all i get is a background and no info. The icons
are not loading on either the Sidebar or the Gadget.
 
Do Microsoft gadgets work ?
Do you have other gadgets working ?
Have you ever had any gadgets working ?

no gadgets are working at this time. They were working a while ago, but I
shut down the sidebar a few months ago.
