Hmm - the fact you say you are getting xAP weather messages sent on the
network seems to indicate that it is running - you are using xFx hub yes
(or Viewer) ? Can you see weather messages of Class weather.report being
sent and open them and see their content in Viewer or Hub ?

The Cloud and ? will remain until xAP Desktop receives such a  message -
they are only sent periodically (every 10 mins for me)  but are sent
very shortly after each startup of xAP Weather. To force one to be sent
you can find the message in Viewer and open it and resend it - this will
force Desktop to update immediately .

Failing this there are two weather displays for xAP weather called
"weather" and"more weather" I think  The latter shows
Temp, Wind speed
and direction and Dew point as well as the graphic, the other just the
weather graphic.   You will have loaded these (or one of them) into a
display number between 1 and 20. You need to find a file called
answers.ini that sits in the respective display folder in the xAP
desktop application folder. If you open xAP desktop you will see in the
overview which one to look in.    The answers.ini file tells the Desktop
weather display what station it is watching for xAP data from - in my
case it contains

icon=EGNM

check it is set up correctly (it was created from the answers you gave
when you installed it).  As a catchall you could set it to

icon=*  which will pick up any weather.report  info on xAP.
