Dell Inspiron 17R and Accuweather Desktop Gadget
My Inspiron 17R came with the Accuweather gadget already installed. I have never had an issue with it.
This morning, I noticed temperature said 0° and time was 4 hours later than it actually is here. My task bar shows the real time and date. I went to the settings for the gadget and put in my zip. It says not found. I tried a few other zip codes from my area and got "no results." I typed in a zip from NYC and it showed "New York, NY." When I clicked on that, it said it couldn't connect to the service.
I don't think there was a problem with it yesterday. Started this AM when I turned on computer.
Anyone know what is causing it and how I can fix it?
Thank you.

Gadgets have been discontinued ever since it was discovered that they are a security risk. Uninstall all the gadgets on your computer. If you are talking about apps which are not gadgets, uninstall and reinstall the non working app. Or consider using a diff app from the many weather apps.
