7. From where does Weather Tracker get its weather data? How often is this updated?
   
   Weather Tracker uses advanced and up-to-date weather data provided by www.weatherzone.com.au. The update frequency of this data can be controlled from the preferences dialog. It can be set to 10, 30 or 60 minutes, in addition the updating can be paused (if the update is set to "pause" no data will be received by the weather tracker).
8. What if I see the 'no connection' signal?
   
   If you see this signal, make sure your Internet connection is working. If it is, you can try restarting your computer. If you have any firewall or internet security software running, try disabling it. If this resolves the problem, you will need to make an exception for "weather.exe".
