I've Googled this and can't seem to find anything regarding this show.

I'm on a brand-new installation of Vista Home Premium and right from the start, the RSS feed gadget wouldn't update.

Hitting F5 on a feed website in IE7 manually updates it, but even after adding msfeedssync.exe to Windows Firewall, it still won\t update automatically.

Does anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks

Curious - how come you didn't mention that you also have posted the same question elsewhere on the net HERE and HERE

In any event M$ has acknowledged that there is a bug in Vista RSS feed Headlines Gadget. See article below.

I have turned off mine after I read the following article.

Well, I'm curious as well since I only posted this question here and on the Windows tech support site.

How did you find those links? This is actually kind of freaking me out.

I didn't. Google did. Google see, Google know all. Google is invincible - there is no hiding from Google which is why the Feds (Big Brother) loves those search engines (Google, Yahoo, AOL, etectra).

LOL. True enough.

However, it doesn't take away from the fact that I didn't post those. Look at the links. I'm not a registered user there, my post count says N/A.

I have absolutely no idea how they got duped onto those forums, but again, I ONLY POSTED HERE AND ON MS!
