Why i don't download a widget yahoo for PC?

Thank you

Lol your asking us why you are not downloading it. We have no idea. Download Yahoo widgets than download this bspec thing and start making money
 
how do i fix the temporary server issue?

First check www.gran-turismo.com if you can log in.

=> at this moment you might find that you can only log in on US servers.
In the widget, go to widget preferences, first tab and then change to the server you can log into on the site.

After that it should work.

if www.gran-turismo.com does not work, wait till it works again.

Has anyone got the option 'Balance Driver by Credit' to work under Manage Drivers?

One of my BOB is already over 20 mill...will another is still around 10 mill and has not raced in weeks.

That option works fine, but it's only for the "hosting" Bob, not the Bobs being raced by others.

One of my BOB is already over 20 mill...will another is still around 10 mill and has not raced in weeks.

I've already made the feature request to be able to either balance credits for all Bobs, or, at least being able to exclude all Bobs from races once they hit a certain amount, i.e. $20M. For the time being, there's nothing that can be done (ummm, well, yeah :sly:). Maybe it'll be a feature in the new and coming browser extension?
 
thanks for the response doc

my internet has been a little off these few days..I can't tell if my widget is screwed up because of that or some GT server issues

US server...1 cocurrent thread used.

Yesterday my widget said loading race..which it was doing...but i checked my ps3 and realized it was hung on the race loading screen for 10 hours:grumpy:

My PSN was also signed off, so yeah, messed up internet and not GT issues?

I also have the impression GT5 blocks a lot more then it used to do.
But clearly from the races others were doing for me, I would say there is a general issue in stability for the moment.

Did some remote races today (that worked), really have trouble to get the widget to start the races regularly. For me GT5 blocked 3 times already today.
 
when I try to do a remote race using the B-Spec Grinder, it just goes through the process: [Reserving drivers --> loading race events --> Starting race --> Race ended] over and over again, and no races go on :grumpy:

I have the same problem, I can race remotely from the website, but the widget has the same lack of anything happening... tried different servers, nothing happening. Disabled firewall just in case, still nothing...

edit: wow, I finally got it working - I switched to the Russian server of all things.. suddenly it started working. No other servers seemed to work including the USA -

edit edit: today only the USA server works - wierd...

and now australia. It seems to give up after only a single race or two too.... server problems I think.

p.s. big thanks to the author for creating and sharing it 👍

I didn't have many issues with starting races since I switched back to the Singapore server, but I do seem to have quite frequent issues getting full fields on reciprocate.
 
Clearly not working for me, since that one shared BOB haven't raced in weeks..

I'm hosting almost everyday too.

Hmm, odd. It really does work for me. The widget always picks the driver with the least credits as host. Maybe that one driver is stuck in Limbo somehow and the widget thinks it's being used?

Edit: Maybe try racing it manually, and see whether that fixes anything?
 
Hey guys,

I downloaded the grinder few days ago. I used it once and it works with no problems.

Now i started it, logged in but then it shows me 'Reserving Drivers', and then nothing more.

Any solution?

sorry for bad english, I'm from Austria :>

edit: hmm, i just tried it with Canada, it works :) but how long? :D

edit2: ok same problem again. After one Race -> freeze at Reserving Drivers :/

Hey guys, Wonderfull app but i do have a huge problem.

May this is already asked in the forum but since there are over 100 pages i'm not going to search through them all.

I've got a problem running yahoo! widgets.

I'm running under Windows 7 64Bit Ultimate edition.

When i launch the program it works fine.
But when i want to make any changes to my drivers with in the widget like replacing them in order or choose friends that i do and do not want to play ... i get a message from windows saying "the program has stopped working" and then shutsdown.

The thing is that windows gadgets is also not working.
In windows proceses the "sidebar.exe" is running but when i want to start a gadget nothing commes up.

UAC is off so that it doesn't give me an notification off running programma's!

The only way i've every working properly is when i boot up in safe mode with network.

The every thing works fine.
I;ve created a workaround: bootup in safe mode and make the adjustments and then boot up in normal mode again.

But this isn't realy an option and it's getting pretty annoying because i would like to start it in normal boot.

I hoop any one can help me with this.

Thanks guys.

Remember to clear GT5's network-cache once in a while...
And try using US-servers in the widget.
 
Madness! I can't sign into the widget (incorrect username/password) or gt.com but i can sign into my email. I hope that the servers are being updated or something..
 
EU web sites servers are down on GT5 HOME site again.
So it can effect all widget users that don't use US or Asia servers.
They were up for 2 days then the weekend hit and GT Home went down again.
 
The link to the widget just redirects me to old stories on the news pages. Any help would be great!
 
To prove this works fine:

6001169070_d67ef97545_z.jpg


Notice 0 game progress, 0 wins.
A-Spec 0, but B-Spec 40!
No Licences.

Could not avoid some Trophies (high roller, maximum milage, century of cars, ... expert manager).

Took me 5 months, can be done a lot faster.
 
I just started using the widget and I must say it seems to work quite well. The status indicators (position, progress) are neat. If anybody wants toad me on psn feel free (numanair).
