Okay, I can confirm that with the new/old dll, 10 day forecast is working again. For anyone still having issues, here is exactly what I did:

- Downloaded the dll from the first page of this thread
- Weatherpanel already installed, with tbusch's earlier .dll fix that was only giving a 5 day forecast
- Went into settings - today and unchecked Weatherpanel
- Opened Total Commander, went to \program files\marsware\weatherpanel\ and deleted the entire \data folder
- Copied the dll into the \weatherpanel folder, overwriting the existing one
- Went back into settings - today and rechecked weatherpanel
- Closed settings, WP automatically started updating
- 10 day forecast now working again
- No uninstall or soft reset required!

Now here are my questions:
- Are we now getting weather data from Weatherbug?
- Does anyone know how accurate it is compared to weather.com?
- Any chance of getting weather data from weather underground/noaa.weather.gov? I have always found them to be VERY accurate (weather underground gets its info from noaa directly so either give the same info). That being said, weather panel + with info from weather.com was always very accurate for me

Hahaha nice comparison! Sounds like my house, wait I better not tell people that haha. Cool, I am hoping QMW will really take off soon!

Thanks very much for getting it going and the fast response! You are the man!

I used the new dll & only got 5 days.

At that point, I DL'ed the cab & installed it telling it to keep my settings. Not only did it delete all my settings & traffic cams, it still is only giving me 5 days?????

Go ahead and delete all your settings. Everything in program files/marsware maybe, after you uninstall, I'm not sure. Then soft reset. Re install. Soft reset. Set it up. Soft reset. Update weather should work! I had to soft reset after I set it up.
