Can't really see where the problem might be laying in. Can you please add to the webparser measures add Debug=2? https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/webparser/#Debug it will produce a dump of what has been parsed.

Also, can it be a firewall issue?

You have a very fast internet connection and are downloading 4 images simultaneously. Normally that is a real benefit, but the speed may be causing the webparser to hang up for you (but not anyone else).

I might suggest controlling the timing of your webparser request so they happen one-after-the-other. This caused a slight delay in displaying all 4 images, but it may solve your issue.

See if this code works. All I did was disable the last 3 webparser measures, then enable/update them in order. The first webparser measure will trigger the update of the next one, it triggers the update of the next, and so on. The last Webparser measure has a finish action that will update all images and redraw them.

Good Luck!

Although a bit later, but for me the second two maps (images) are also loaded. Try to restart Rainmeter. I know you said you've even reboots, when eclectic-tech advised you to do so, but retry it.

I'm almost out of ideas... :headbang:

Your skin is working for several other users around the world, so it has to be something with your ability to access those sites.

Sorry that my suggested sequential webparsers actually made it worse... O.O

Are you seeing any error messages in the Rainmeter Log? If so, posting those may lead to an answer. :confused:

Here is the Debug log that I get. This is of the RadarMap.ini that I am currently using...not to the time delay one.

Ok, so, can you run the skin just with the image that is not being downloaded and removing the rest?

and then send the dump from

siliconman01, those images which don't show up in the skin, can you see them into your browser if you try to open them, copying their URL?

It appears that something became corrupted or deleted from the system registry that is causing this. :???: :vomit: I now have it working properly on 2 of my systems via a complete and total Windows 10 re-install. As soon at the Windows 10 V1809 is re-released and an ISO becomes available, I will rebuild my primary system which unfortunately takes a couple of days and then several hours of additional tweaking.

And yes, I know all tricks to try to recover Windows 10 but none of them worked. :uhuh: Thanks for ALL of the feedback and I apologize for taking so much of your time.
