Oil Price Monitor Version 2.0

Ever since the release of 1.0 we have been looking into ways to make the Oil Price Monitor even better. With oil prices all over the news, we thought ‘Why stop at just one feed?’ So, after several weeks of hard dedication from our gadget team, we have completly recreated the Oil Price Monitor.

Features include:

• The option of different feeds that will display the price of Crude Oil
• The ability to choose between two themes
• The ability to choose the amount change in monitary value, percentage, or both. 
• A graphing function, to graph the last ten trading values.

If you like this gadget, let us know. If you run into any issues, also let us know and provide any details you can about the problem.

   Great gadget, when it works. I installed v2 yesterday and it worked fine, now it’s just like it’s predesessor, it just sits there trying to load. I’m not quit sure why it fails, but it does the same thing on my home PC. Maybe it’s Vista? IT screws everything else up.

   Jim, try re-adding the gadget to the sidebar. Otherwise, it seems to be working right now. Wonder if it might be getting caused by the refresh timer, we’ll look into it.

   Always been a great gadget, fun to watch the prices go up and down and time when I make a stop at the gas station! One thing I found was that the Automatically Detect Settings under Tools\Internet Options\Connections\LAN Settings seems to have an impact on how the gadget operates. I would suggest removing the gadget, turning off the automatic detection, then re-add the gadget to the sidebar, seems to work everytime now! Maybe we can call this a temporary fix until the team gets a chance to look at it!

   Avalon, Just download the latest version from the website.

   Chip, we’re still working on getting all the kinks out. There’s going to be a lot more work in this area in the future, hopefully we can get it fully stabalized.

   I would like to be able to track natural gas as well. Are you planning on adding other commodities?
