You guys scared me there for a moment. Just did a new Vista 64 install this week. Quickly got rid of sidebar and loaded Yahoo Widgets, which I've been using on my XP system for a while. This was always one of my favorite widgets, I'm happy to say it's working fine for me, I just installed it. I may have to look at some other widgets though, now that I have dual cores n stuff. Sniff, feel like I'm cheating on a girlfriend.

I have the same problem as JozerWorx mentions. It started upon installing the widget engine 4.0.3 (178) update. Is this widget still being developed?

Just did a clean install of Vista ultimate on my machine. Widget is indeed ALMOST broken. The uptime counter shows "Uptime: unknown error!" and the processor speed shows part of a much longer string saying "...rable program or batch file. MH..."

I have tried to get into contact with this widget author about a year ago with no luck, so we may be on our own.

Unfortunately this widget produces a HUGE amount of page faults. Over 21 million in just a couple hours time. It has one of the cleanest interfaces of all the multi-monitor widgets available. Hopefully the author will clean up the page fault error and address the Y!WE 4.0 concerns listed below.
