Hi All,
Yahoo has now this Beta Ticker .. for News, Weather, etc (sounds like what i ve been looking for) -----> My Yahoo! Ticker Beta
("News, weather and stock quotes delivered right to your desktop.")
It's here: http://next.yahoo.com/
In the bottom of the page there, click on "My Yahoo! Ticker Beta" .. or go directly to http://edit.ticker.yahoo.com/config/slv4_page?.p=ticker
You see there "Download Beta" button ..
All you got to do, basically, is click on it.. and it will install the Ticker...
Others are running it after all... - BUT - it would NOT install for me
Minimum requirements it says there (on that download link above) - "Requires Windows 98 or above and Internet Explorer 5.5 or above" .. - On my computer here, i have Windows ME and IE 6.0.. so i should be OK.. BUT, again, no luck for me
Here is what's happening to me ( as i posted on their board there .. but "no replies" ) .. And if you have any suggestions for me, or thoughts why i can't install this proggy.. this Ticker.. PLEASE share them with me!
Thanks in advance...
And here is what is happening to me:
