I have the same problem as choral_music did in 2010 (gadget cannot find my location and option for "find location automatically"is grayed out/not available). Wondered if she/he ever found a solution. Have had my computer for 1 year; installed with Windows 7 and in the last month or two, I upgraded from IE8 to IE9. I also use McAfee, but there was no problem with gadget until very recently. Could this be a hardware problem, say with a wireless device? I have had my wireless card replaced because my computer could not find my router or stay connected to the internet. (Even had the router replaced.) Still having some connection issues, plus now the gadget won't find my location. Computer says I am fully connected to router.

try changing location and see if that worksWindows MVP 2010-11, XP, Vista, 7.
