This is a great widget, though I wish it updated a little more frequently.
I have three issues to report to the author:
1) It would be nice if it updated immediately when the PC wakes up from sleep or hibernate mode.
2) This afternoon it just said the Dow was up 3 points when it was really up 220 or so. See the screen capture at http://toolworks.com/temp/stockbug.gif . The value for the Dow was correct but the change was not, though it was suspiciously close to the change for the S&P. …A few moments later everything was correct again.
3) "About Yahoo Finance" says version 1.0.2 although the current version that I just downloaded (again) is supposed to be 1.0.3.More
I found the dll elsewhere and copied it to the EXE's folder. I was able to add the ^FTSE record as explained (below.) This did not "fix" the "^DJI-not-updating" issue.
