Here is a short guide to help with problems when installing or upgrading eBay Auction Watch.

Google Desktop version

If you experience strange problems such as inability to login or links not working, you may need to upgrade your Google Desktop.

eBay Auction Watch is always developed against the latest version of Google Desktop. To take advantage of all the features of the gadget, I encourage you to upgrade often.

Blank gadget after install & login

If you install the gadget and login successfully ("Login to eBay" doesn't show), please reboot your computer to get your auctions. I'm working on this issue.

"Failed to copy the gadget" error

Many of you have reported this error when upgrading:

I'm not sure why this error happens and have contacted Google for assistance. Here is the fix:

1. Remove your current version of the gadget from the sidebar by clicking the 'x' that appears when you mouse over the gadget.
2. Close the sidebar by right-clicking the Google Desktop icon in the lower-right system tray and choosing Exit.
3. Browse to C:\My Documents\My Google Gadgets and delete the eBay Auction Watch-Ty Kroll.gg file.
4. Reinstall the gadget.

Other strangeness

If the gadget breaks, behaves badly, stops, or does anything strange or confusing, please email me. My name is Ty. I love helping out and get a big kick out of hearing from everyone and solving problems. This gadget is my baby; please let me know when it's crying.
