    I have been a fan of RSS Ticker Tape for quite a while now, and it is certainly the best RSS Ticker for Y! widgets I have seen. Thank you very much for the numerous improvements made over the years.

    Defect report: For multiple monitors, if the 2nd monitor is to the left of the primary (happens typically in docked laptop scenario), and the ticker is moved to the 2nd monitor, the tool tips incorrectly appear on the first monitor.

    Make sure you make a list of your manually added RSS feed content before performing the following:

    Right-click the widget and select 'Remove all channels' - [OK] (this will clean the message history cache). Then, right-click the widget and select 'Import content...' (from "My Yahoo!") or 'Add content manually...' (using your list of RSS feeds).

    My problem is the same as "yagodemanu": my widget started to crash as I put my mouse on a title. I upgraded to the latest version, reentered feeds, but I have the same problem. I have seen his solution, but could that be more descriptive on how to perform it?

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Hi,
    I am using RSS Ticker Tape since 12 months now. It is the BEST RSS Widget out there!

    But yesterday, all of a sudden, the Widget started to crash. Reason was, that the registry value for recent atricles was more than 4.000 lines long :-(

    I deleted them and now works just fine again.

    I spent the half night wake to find and fix the problem and I kept searching, because I wouldn't want to work on my machine without the RSS Ticker Tape widget anymore ;-).

    Keep on with your great work.

    I have a two monitor setup and this ticker fits beautifully on the second screen where the start bar usually is. Just plain beautiful...
