I completely agree with you. But where the heck can we go to resolve this issue? I'm back to 7139 now and it works ok again except for those two extra clicks to turn of the conditions popup. The site that I downloaded the bat from talks about notification icons may be corrupted or not operating properly. The bat he has deletes all the icons via shutting out two registry keys. Then on reboot windows adds back those two keys and then rebuilding occurs. As each program comes up you choose what you want the icon to do. Here is the link in case you want to see it.

I've done that with hopes it would repair my end if something was wrong. But it seems windows still doesn't like your new version (At least my copy of windows 7) For me maybe a "timeout" feature would be better than the click out version? You know like an option to choose how long the pop up should stay open. But hey, I'm not expecting anything like that for just one single user. I was hoping that more would have the same issue as I do but it doesn't seem like it does or you'd be hearing about it. The best bet for me right now is to just stay with 7139 and do a couple of extra clicks. At least it doesn't not let me use my other icons. Don't know what else to say????

I'm not sure the popup has anything to do with the problem. To test that idea out, try turning it off by enabling the "Use standard Windows tooltip" box in the "Tray Icon" --> "Tooltip" section of the Weather Watcher Live Options window.

Well, I did just gave it a try. You don't get the fancy tool tip, and just a standard windows tool tip, but it does time out in about 10 seconds. Then the single click opens WWL. Kind of what I was suggesting using your fancy tool tip. If it automatically shut off in so many seconds, then all would be well. To tell the truth it surprised me to see that it does work.

Also you don't even have to wait for the condition tool tip to time out. A single click at any time closes it and opens wwl.

Just went back and forth between the two tool tips and the standard works perfectly while if I use your custom tool tip, you have to double click to get it to close and then single click. With the windows one you can single click anytime and wwl opens. But the big question is why on my machine and nobody else???

Using which version of Weather Watcher Live?

I'm running the old 7139. Works like a charm with the windows standard tool tip. "Everything" works but without the fancy wwl custom tool tip.

And I'm one step ahead of you. Just converted to the new 7143 and "it also works if I use the windows 7 standard tool tip!" I can wait 10 secs for it to time out or just click while it is up and wwl opens with none of the highlighting. It I revert to the custom tool tip, the problem returns. Again, why just my machine???

So, with 7.1.43, the problem only occurs when left-clicking the tray icon while the custom tooltip is visible? Or does right-clicking cause the same problems when the custom tooltip is visible?

The problem only exists when using the custom tool tip and with a left click. A right click is ok. On the left click, the custom tool tip closes and wwl starts. But now the icon highlight problem exists. And since I have 1 click on, when the icon is highlighted, clicking on the other icons will open wwl. Using the new version, no problem if I stay away from the custom tool tip.

Got it. We can try some test builds this week to see if it's possible to work around this issue. I'll post here when ready.

Chunker, please try installing this build over top of your existing Weather Watcher Live install:

Sorry Mike, can't even get that one to work at all. It installed but when I try to run it, the screen opens and the weather tries to load but stops and hangs a little over 50 percent on the bar. The only way out is to open task manager and shut it down. Went back to 7143.

Can you try installing it again to see if the same thing happens?

Tried it again and it is exactly as it is when I tried the first time. Starts and hangs with the weather loading a little over 50 percent on the bar. On the first attempt earlier, I tried opening it about 3 times and it failed every time. Rolled back to 7143 and no problem. On this attempt I even did a reboot before trying to run it, very same response as the first attempt. Again I've gone back to 7143 and it installed and loaded perfectly as it did previously.
