Although similar questions have been asked, I cannot find a definitive answer in the Forum.  It involves the Microsoft Vista News Feed gadget.  It worked until Monday of this week when it failed to update.  The last feed is dated Monday, and uninstalling and reinstalling the gadget does not help.  One response suggested downloading a possible update from Microsoft, but there were no associated instructions as to how to do that.  To complete the description of the problem, the feed window still appears in the Sidebar, but there is no current news.© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
