    If u use Chrome , the app store has many free ones : some of them are real-time too. Search for 'forex' :

    eh? windows 7 has gadgets built in, right click on your desktop and select 'Gadgets' on the pannel that opens double click the 'currency' one, you can keep double clicking it if you want more than one or 2 or 3...

    then on the drop down options set the top one to GBP and the bottom one to AUD, its telling me that there are 1.519ADU to 1GBP right now
  • Thanks jayme one of them actually works fine for me,I didn't know it already had gadgets on W7
    Thanks to all for the help
