Hi Shane
Add this info for the radar pics in the "My Images" "+" Add/Delete Your
Image" Boxes

for bbc Radar
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/live/brradar1.jpg

for metO Radar
http://www.meto.gov.uk/weather/europ...y/3EF_PS_0.GIF

I have yet to see if they update, got the url's from right

click/properties
on the radar images.

BrianT

A very neat piece of software.
To display in metric click on 'weather.com' in lower left corner of page.
Once on the new page scroll down to line below '10 day forecast' where you
can reset to display in metric. This changes the original page to metric as
well.
Have reset satpics as suggested earlier-updating nicely.

All the best

Hi Shayne

To change the temps from F to C, first make sure you are on current
conditions, then click on the link at the bottom left marked "view this
forecast", and there you will see the option marked "english or metric",
click on metric and refresh the weather pulse prog, and your temps should be
in deg C

I can't get the auto refresh to work. It's set to 5 minutes but all that happens is I get a "refreshing wallpaper" message at the
bottom left of screen. Any ideas anyone?

From "View / Settings" drop down file menu
Choose "City" click on "Add City"
Type "leeds" then click on "Search"
Highlight " Leeds, United Kingdom" from the list of all the "Leeds"
Click on "Save" then on "Save" again in next box.

Hope that helps. You are connected to the internet?

Well I thought I'd sorted the conversion to metric on this . However, as I
feared, it had returned to degF after I switched PC on again. Seems I lose
my cookies overnight (as they say). Anyway after logging on to the forum for
Weather Pulse I discover that the metric conversion is a 'known problem' to
be addressed in a future release. They are also considering changing to
WeatherUnderground for their source with a small charge (5 dollars) being
made.

All the best

I had problems with this as the web page told me I had not enabled
Javascript which is incorrect since I had recently installed the latest
plug-in from Sun to use rather than MS VM which is non standard and to
be dropped by Microsoft by 2004.

I can't get on with degF so I have uninstalled the program
