Same thing here as of two days ago. The message I get is either "Feed not available. Try again later" or one that says "Internet not available". If I go to the actual site I can get the weather for my area with no problems. I have tried different zip codes and cities but nothing works. I remember seeing a thread about this last year but I don't know how it all turned out. I know, I could always do a search but since someone else here has the same problem i will just tag along with their thread. My OS is XP with the most recent updates and OD is 1.9 Pro. My firewall says that OD is connecting to the Internet with no problems.

Several hours later.

I just downloaded a weather widget from Yahoo that uses the same weather source at accuweather.com and also has the flyouts with the 5 day forcast. It is running fine.

My weather docklet isn't working, either, on 2 different XP machines.  Could you provide a link for the weather widget from Yahoo and does this load into the Objectdock dock like the weather docklet that came with it?

Yeah...problem is with Accuweather, not OD. Old story. Use Weatherlab 6.3 by Vad_M.

My  educated guess as a daily user of OD is that there is an issue with accuweather dot com,not a problem with ObjectDock or the docklet. This has been an infrequent but annoying error ever since I started using OD. The problem will get ironed out in time.

Patience everyone,and no need to uninstall/reinstall anything or reload the docklet.(It won't help anyway)

Hey everyone go to this thread and follow the instructions on replacing the weather ocx file. I had replaced mine  a year ago and it fixed my problem then. I just replaced it again and now the weather is working!   LINK
