WeatherBug

Does anybody else have this application? My mom has it on her computer, and I have repeatedly tried to download it onto mine. It NEVER works, even when I try to copy it to a floppy from my dad's computer and then install it. Has anybody else had this problem with installing this program. It's a really good program, and I really would like it on my computer. Any advice would be appreciated.

Mine works great... I have broadband at home, and that makes the alert function extremely useful.

I think this is a great program. I've had it for almost a year. It's nice having live weather conditions from locations within a mile or two from my home and office.

I love the weatherbug. It's unobtrusive and works great. The many local weather sites are a plus. They even have live weather for La Grande, Or. When it gets over 100 degrees, the numbers turn from blue to red, too good.

My wife instant messages me at work to tell me the temp on her weatherbug....

I like it too. No problems, just occasional annoying pop-ups.

I have 2 WinXP Pro PCs, had it on Win2K....no problems.

I have installed weatherbug on a number of computers, with a variety of OS's. The only time I have really had a problem was around the first of the year. The version at that time hung up several times on installation.
I really enjoy it. I have it on my laptop, in the bedroom. A few nights ago it was chirping at us. No, its not what you think. The screen was dark so it couldn't see us, it just wanted to let us know about the nasty weather coming our way.

I just don't like it asking for my email address. Weather.com's isn't as in-depth, but it doesn't bombard you with ads...

I went into settings and set it so that at startup it just politely places itself in the lower corner of my screen without bringing up the homepage. That limits the amount of screen clutter.
