Restore your settings from a back up. Then 'ps axf | grep kio_http' (while you have all applications closed) and kill that if it is still running. Warning: I think that going back into the settings and running Search for a weather URI will launch again a kio_http process and you're back where you started. > >> While I am at it.

LOL If you have your NOAA URI correctly set in your .kde4/share/config/plasma- desktop-appletsrc it should go fetch the weather feed from there. -- Regards, Mick
