The only thing u can get it to work is to create a new account.

This is pain... And the only reason this happened is because one of the updates got installed and screwed everything up. I haven't restarted windows 7 since last week and today was the day that I lost upto 8 notes filled with lots of info :< no backup... Guys if anyone solves this problem let me know.
The things I did:
System restore = problem still exist..
SFC = problem still exist
Safemode + removing the settings / gadgets under user profile/appdata/microsoft/windows sidebar = problem still exist
Restoring sidebar/gadgets to defaults = problem still exist
Registering alot of DLLs related to gadgets = problem still exist.
UAC both ways off and On / Notify and Do not Notify = problem still exist
Only solution I found is to create a new account, which i really don't want.
