download is a .widget file
cshannon1077- Pros
- no file available to load
- Cons
- what the heck is a widget file? that will not execute.
- Summary
All it wanted to do was install the AOL toolbar

- Didn't work, can't find out where to uninstall it.
- Summary
- Avoid downloading at all costs!
Simple wifi display
- Pros
- Simple little widget that does a very basic wifi antenna signal strength representation with a percentage number underneath. This is a yahoo widget and won't install itself unless you have the yahoo widget application installed.
- Cons
- None really.This just a real basic widget nothing fancy.
- Summary
- A good little widget if you like simple information.
Maybe you have to be smarter than the setup.exe app
AlanG4224- Pros
- I never got that far to find any.
- Cons
- I opened the folder to start the application, found another folder and opened that, found another folder and opened that, found another, and eventually found several files that had one that might have been an setup app but nothing happened.
- Summary
- Maybe this little puppy didn't belong in the Vista protocols, but I'll never know. Maybe I just didn't know enough to get it going correctly but I wasn't too enthusiastic about wasting too much time trying to compell the thing to work. Sorry, but poor presentation and planning quickly discourages me from trying to invoke a product to work.
Developer’s Description
By Yahoo
A little digital readout of your WiFi signal strength. It can also show you the name of the network you're connected to, or the signal strength as a raw percentage. Part of the Yahoo! Widgets 4 installation, but offered here in the event you've lost the Widget. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
