the upload failed due to an unknown error, it says. c’mon fellow dopers, you have helped me in the past, so help me now. god, i know that is not much to go on.

running vista, also my weather gadget hasn’t worked for weeks…

oh, and I can’t zip files and send them out to my brother, otherwise everything seems okay
