    Nice widget. But like hangman01, my wallpaper only changes when I manually refresh the desktop (F5 key). I'm using Windows XP.

    I've got the same problem as jaypak, after changing the settings to a Tag search my PC's CPU usage went up to almost 100% and re-installing didn't happen. It's a great widget but I can't use it any more ・゜゜(>_<)゜゜・ Is there any way to make it works again?

    jaypak> Sorry to hear about the trouble. One way you can edit those settings it to set it to read from the local drive first, then edit the tags and set it back to flickr.

    I loved the Magic Lantern widget at first. But when I changed the setting to a Tag search (from Interestingness) it has caused my PC to grind to an almost stand-still - CPU usage upped to 97%. Re-loading it has had no effect (poss. because it has 'remembered' it's previous setting?). I would like it to revert back to Interestingness but it is hanging. Forced to delete it, sorry to say. Unique of its sort, unless I'm mistaken, so very desirable.
