 * Hot Damn!
 * It DID work. I got the new version: 1.2.1 and made sure the original WP2.1 build
   scriptaculous files were in the original location (wp-inclues–>js–>scriptaculous)
   and it worked!
 * You guys are awesome. My faith in the support groups is high right now.
 * Thanks Otto for putting up with my frustration!

   2 is also XP Pro with all sp’s up to date. OS on Machine 3 is XP Home with all
   sp’s up to date.

 * OK, here goes
 * Drmike,
 * I have tried it on 3 different machines, with different browsers: Machine 1: 
   Firefox 1.5.0.9 and IE 6.0. Machine 2: IE 7.0. Machine 3: IE 7.0 and Firefox 
   1.5.0.9. None of the worked. I focused on perhaps problems with the scriptaculous
   files since there seems to be some ambiguity around their location, and where
   to obtain them from. I have 2 versions of the scriptaculous files. One from the
   fresh download of 2.1 (which I downloaded 2 days ago for the first time. The 
   second was in a strange location under the plugin’s site (had to go fishing to
   even find it there). As described, I have tried different versions in numerous
   locations all to no avail. Even the “new” version of the plugin did nothing.
 * I’d love to use widgets, but am I better off just tinkering with the PHP and 
   doing all of the rss feeds by hand myself? Seems like a lot of work… if I have
   to, but I’d love to see what widgets can do to save me time.
 * Frustrated… it’s not working!
 * Mdawaffe, I uploaded the new version… did nothing. Do I need to do something 
   more like reinstall WP? seems drastic, but if someone that tell me even general
   instructions, I’m game. I’ve installed and configured OSCommerce before, and 
   this seemed much more straightforward… but widgets simply don’t work for me yet.
