XWidgetSoft Forum

Hi

Im downloading new widgets but I cannot get them to install. Someone please help.

They download as a xwp file but xwidget doesn't want to know anything about it, doesn't automatically open or anything

and xwidget is running in your system tray?
Did you try to right click and choose open with and find the exe file in Programs for Xwidget, maybe that will associate it

When you download a new widget (.xwp file), Windows recognizes it? Or you have an empty icon?
If this happens try to re-install XWidget (overwrite). Also fix manually the "open with" menu for such files selecting "always with" and XWidget program. There is a corruption of your registry.
Try these and tell me if works. If still doesn't work there are a couple of things that you can do..

Have tried both and just tells me xwidget is already running and does nothing to install the new widget I have downloaded.

No windows didnt recognise it so had to associate it manually to no avail.

I am running windows 8.1 64bit if that helps

I have time ago the same problem but as I saw was a registry problem. Happens..
Since windows dont recognize it, do as @djpete says. Right click and choose open with and find the exe file in Programs for Xwidget, to associate it.
If this doesn't work use this little great program that puts manually programs to open with window/list and find the xwidget.exe.
And do the same procedure..
Also I give you this great prem (mod) registry program to check and fix all the pc registry errors!
I tried both and all works perfectly after that..!

Maybe try restarting xwidget and trying another widget

Have also tried another widget and same results. So manually association it with the main xwidget exe isnt causing problms then?

tring reg program now
