Support Weather Watcher

Singer's Creations has been providing users, like you, with quality software and support since 1997. If you think about it, I am sure there are not too many other websites on the Internet that you can say the same about.

As you know, nothing is free :) A lot of free time and effort goes into writing software updates, providing support through e-mail, and bringing your new Weather Watcher ideas to life.

If you would like to make a contribution towards my efforts, then please consider sending a monetary donation via one of following methods:

 Donate via PayPal.com
 Donate via Amazon.com

If you are not comfortable with sending a donation online, then please contact [image] Mike@SingersCreations.com for a mailing address to donate by check.

If a monetary donation is not possible, then please consider supporting Singer's Creations by referring a friend, linking to SingersCreations.com from your website, or offering unused bandwidth to host the Weather Watcher installation files.


Technical Support

A lot of the questions I receive by e-mail have already been answered in my [image] support forum, so please check that out first.  If you're not able to find an answer there, then try posting a question in the proper forum or use the [image] Bug Report to contact me directly.  You may also e-mail me at [image] Mike@SingersCreations.com if you need help with something that falls outside the scope of the Bug Report.

When completing the Bug Report or e-mailing me directly, please be as detailed as possible.  Sending one-line e-mails like "It's broke" or "It doesn't work" just creates more work for everyone, nor does it help you get a timely answer.

"Internet Not Found" error message

To resolve this problem, uncheck the "Only download updates when connected to the Internet" checkbox in the "Auto Update" tab of the Weather Watcher Options window.


"Server Not Found" error message

Many factors can cause the "Server not found" error to appear when retrieving the weather or searching for cities.  Below is a list of all known fixes.

1. If you're using a software firewall (e.g. Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security), then make sure your firewall is allowing Internet access to "C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher\DL.EXE".  DL.EXE is used to download data from the Internet, so it must have Internet access.  You can try shutting down your firewall to verify the blockage.

2. If you're using an authenticated proxy server, then make sure you complete the "Proxy" section of the Weather Watcher Options.

3. Make sure you are not running any other programs that might be blocking Internet access to "C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher\DL.EXE".

4. Make sure you can access [image] weather.com in your web browser.  It's possible that your computer is being blocked from viewing their website.

5. Try toggling your Internet Explorer Options.  Open Internet Explorer, and go to "Tools" --> "Internet Options..." in the program menu.  Click the "Advanced" tab and scroll down to the Security settings at the bottom.  Check any option, click "Apply", uncheck the same option, and click "Apply" again.

6. Some people have found that some of the Internet Explorer Security Options are causing the problem.  Unchecking the following Internet Explorer Options fixed the problem for various people:

 Do not save encrypted pages to disk
 Warn about invalid site certificates
 Warn if changing between secure and not secure mode
 Warn if forms submittal is being redirected

7. If you're using a proxy server, enable the "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections" Internet Explorer Option.

8. Try downloading and reinstalling Weather Watcher again from [image] http://www.SingersCreations.com/AboutWeatherWatcher.asp.  It's possible that you're using an old version/build.

9. If you're using Windows XP, install Windows SP2:  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx


Tray icon not loading at Windows startup

1. Make sure you have the "Load when Windows starts" checkbox checked in the "General" tab of the Weather Watcher Options window.

2. If you're using the Windows "Hide inactive icons" taskbar setting, then double-check that Weather Watcher is set to always show.

You can access the taskbar options window by right-clicking an empty area on the Windows taskbar and choosing "Properties" from the right-click menu. This only applies if the "Hide inactive icons" checkbox is checked at the bottom of the taskbar options window.

3. Check if the Weather Watcher process (ww.exe) is running in the "Processes" tab of the Windows Task Manager. Press ALT+CTRL+DEL to access the Windows Task Manager.

If the "ww.exe" process is present, then the problem is most likely being caused by a conflict on your computer. See the links below for a boatload of advice on this issue:

2. Uncheck all of the checkboxes in the "Wallpaper" Weather Watcher Options.

3. Manually reset your wallpaper by right-clicking an empty area on your desktop, choosing "Properties" from the dropdown menu, and changing the wallpaper image from the "Desktop" tab.

Install new skins

See the Weather Watcher Skins forum to download additional Weather Watcher skins:

Print forecasts

Since the forecasts are displayed within an instance of Internet Explorer, you can access the Internet Explorer menu by right-clicking anywhere on the forecast area in Weather Watcher. To print a forecast, right-click anywhere in the forecast area and choose "Print" from the dropdown menu.


Rotate desktop wallpaper maps

You can set up the "Wallpaper" section of the Weather Watcher Options to display a map as your desktop wallpaper and update it at a set interval. But, did you know you can use this same feature to rotate through multiple maps on each update interval?

To get started, set the desired map interval in dropdown box.

Next, hold down the CTRL key and select each map from the map list by clicking the map name.

Click "OK" to save your changes and prepare to watch your selected maps rotate on your desktop at the set interval.


Uninstall Weather Watcher

Follow the steps below to uninstall Weather Watcher:

Step 1:
Make sure Weather Watcher is not running. Select "Exit" from the Weather Watcher system tray icon menu to shut down Weather Watcher.

If Weather Watcher is running, but you cannot see the Weather Watcher system tray icon, then end the "WW.EXE" process in the Windows Task Manager. You can access the Windows Task Manager by pressing ALT+CTRL+DEL.

Step 2:
Once, Weather Watcher has been closed, run the uinstall program from the "Add/Remove" section of the Windows Control Panel, or from the "Weather Watcher" folder in your Windows Start menu. If you haven't installed a full version of Weather Watcher in a while, you might not see an uinstall entry for Weather Watcher in the "Add/Remove" section of the Windows Control Panel.

Step 3:
When you run Weather Watcher, it creates some files that contain your user settings. Since the uninstaller does not know those files exists, it will not remove them. You can manually remove them by deleting the "C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher" folder, or the folder where you installed Weather Watcher.


Template Codes

The following data tags can be used to customize the look of the Weather Watcher forecast skins. You'll find the skins in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher\Skins

The data tags can also be used to customize the data that is displayed in the Export and Log features. Those features can be setup in the "Export" and "Log" tabs of the Weather Watcher Options window.

Unfortunately, there aren't detailed instructions regarding this process, but you should be able to figure the process out if you have a basic understanding of HTML and take a few minutes to look through the *.WTP template files in the "C:\Program Files\Weather Watcher\Skins\Forecasts" folder.

The following codes can be used in all of the .WTP template files:

Additional Log-Only Tags:

[CRLF]
[TAB]

When using the Hourly, Daily or Detailed tags, you must use them inside of a loop structure. See the following example for the loop structure syntax:

[HOURLY LOOP COUNT=5]
     	[TEMPLATE]
          	Day: [HOURLY DAY]
          	Condition: [HOURLY CONDITION]
    	 [/TEMPLATE]
[/HOURLY LOOP]

Or, use multiple [TEMPLATE] tags to alternate row colors.

[HOURLY LOOP COUNT=5]
     	[TEMPLATE]
          	Day: [HOURLY DAY]
          	Condition: [HOURLY CONDITION]
     	[/TEMPLATE]
     	[TEMPLATE]
          	Day: [HOURLY DAY]
          	Condition: [HOURLY CONDITION]
     	[/TEMPLATE]
[/HOURLY LOOP]

In the above examples, the Day Name and Condition will be printed for the next 5 hours. To print all of the available hours, use a "*" in place of the "5".

[HOURLY LOOP COUNT=*]
     	[TEMPLATE]
          	Day: [HOURLY DAY]
          	Condition: [HOURLY CONDITION]
     	[/TEMPLATE]
[/HOURLY LOOP]

The Daily and Detailed data can be looped using a similar syntax.

[DAILY LOOP COUNT=5]
     	[TEMPLATE]
          	[DAILY DAY]
          	[DAILY CONDITION DAY]
     	[/TEMPLATE]
[/DAILY LOOP]
 	[DETAILED LOOP COUNT=5]
     	[TEMPLATE]
          	[DETAILED DAY]
         	[DETAILED FORECAST]
     	[/TEMPLATE]
[/DETAILED LOOP]

You can use the optional [START] tag to specify which item to print first. To print the next 7 days starting tomorrow, set the [START] tag to "2".

[DAILY LOOP COUNT=7 START=2]
     	[TEMPLATE]
          	Day: [DAILY DAY]
          	Condition: [DAILY CONDITION DAY]
     	[/TEMPLATE]
[/DAILY LOOP]
