P.S. If you go into the Start Here index, you'll find a topic on more gadgets with screenshots, including of the one I just talked about.

AHA! I just figured this out. (I think) My laptop running Vista has the ability to Hibernate, which means to write all memory contents to disk, then shut down, and upon being restarted read the file on disk back into memory and start up your machine JUST as it was. Well, in order to put in helpful amounts of time on W.C.G., I've been unplugging my laptop (so it's not a fire hazard), then going to sleep while W.C.G. runs in the background. When I wake up, I then wake up the machine, and at night the whole cycle starts over again. I JUST REALIZED-- it's been a LONG time since I actually restarted Windows, which now that I think about it would be the logical choice for when to refresh Widgets that live on your Windows desktop. (duhhh) So I just restarted, and voila! The widget is exactly correct. Okay, huh, solved. It was just since I was relying on auto-hibernate for days/weeks on end. Thanks all for the help!
