Why windows vista weather gadgets is not working?

It was few days back when my windows vista weather gadgets stopped working. I was quite saddened as you are right now. In my case I found that not only were some gadgets not working but that the links to get more gadgets online were also dead. Try the following: Press the start/windows button - select Default Programs- select Start Default Programs -select Internet Explorer - choose Set This Program as Default. In my case everything started working normally. A note of concern if you are running Firefox I'm not so sure whether you may need to temporally uninstall that first. I hope you will be satisfied with the solution because when I tried it, it turned out to be the best solution for this kind of problem. And since I have tried it on my windows vista, the weather gadgets are working quite well without any problem.
