Yahoo Widgets?

After i downloaded the widgets off of yahoo, it reads them as not being able to be read, so i figure i could rename it with the .exe extension. It shows up as a program, but when i click on it, a screen shows up and just disappears, and nothing happens. Did i use the wrong extension, or do i need something before i can use them.

Yahoo Widgets?
First a question, do you have the Yahoo widgets Engine installed ?





If not you will need to install that in order to use the widgets as they are written for the engine and are not native windows apps in and of themselves so simply renaming them to .exe will not make them work.





If you do have the Widgets engine Installed then you should try uninstalling it then re-installing it to see if that fixes the problem, in some cases to get it to install properly will require you to empty the Temp folders, if so e-mail me and I will tell you how to do this. fsebentley@direcway.com
