Default weather gadget (was: Sidebar) peoblems

Testing and uninstalling an old gane has unexpectedly removed several
files essential to good functioning of the sidebar and the weather
gadget now gives a Data Error instead of the current weather.

Do you mean the weather gadget that came with Windows 7, or some other
one you've installed? I was under the impression that the default one
ceased to work some years ago, due mainly to the server it used being
turned off, I think. (There was a patch someone produced which made it
continue to work for a few months, but eventually that failed too.)

[And yes, I know gadgets allegedly are now considered a security risk.]
