    v2.39 is available on the author's website. It adds a Dock icon and corrects an incompatibility with the Mac version of Y!WE 4 so that groups will open and close properly.

    There may be a significant delay before this version is available in the Gallery.

    I am having the same problem. The Widgets Widget closes the other widgets but shows an error message when I try to open them again. I am using XP with only SP1. I have used the DCOMbobulator program from grc.com (I don't know if that matters). My firewall is Outpost. Here is the debugging info:
    Welcome to Yahoo! Widgets 4.0.5 (build 184) on 11/08/07 18:02:56.859

    Type '/help' for help.

    I'm sorry, but I don't. I have not been able to determine why some Windows systems have this problem and I don't have an alternative way to handle the widgets other than relying on COM.
