    Arrgh, this would be an awesome gadget if it didn't keep freezing....I have Vista, and it works fine for a little while, then stops responding....seems like a few others are having similar problems.

    Ok, never mind. The adjuster is just flaky and there is no direct way to tell what its set at, so I had it set at some large number, instead of at 1 minute. You might want to add a clearer display of how much time its set to. ;)

    Just downloaded this myself. I am using XP and unless I **manually** click the button to change images, it never changes them, no matter what time delay I set it for.

    Yeah, I'm using vista and I have to go to change my background under personalize before this widget can do anything for it to work (f5 refresh doesn't do the trick). And after maybe 15 min., it just fails (widget stops working and shuts down). Thoughts? Great widget though, so far it's the only one that does what I want (a constantly changing background) None of the others work for vista apparently.
