Hi, I use a few gadgets to monitor my system temps. I can't seem to find the fix to this new issue. I just recently updated MS Windows 7 x64 with the following Updates:
Since then, some of my monitoring gadgets are not working correctly, circled in redsee Insert)
I have restarted the comp and uninstalled and reinstalled the gadgets and that don't seem to help. Anyone else have this issue or the fix?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Hello Homeuser66,

Hope this helps,

Thanks Brink! I just installed it and now restarting....I'll post my status in a few.
No, that didn't work....I do have other working gadgets...it's just the CPU Gadget and the Video Card Gadgets.
Update: It seems to be only a few select gadgets. The GPU Gadget and the CPU Gadget. I can run a different one without any issues..They just don't have the features I need...lol
You might double check to make sure that they have an exception added to allow them through your firewall to see if that may be the issue.

Nope, they aren't even here. But they also don't access the internet....so I don't see how this would help...Thanks anyway though...I'll have to uninstall each update to find the culprit....You might double check to make sure that they have an exception added to allow them through your firewall to see if that may be the issue.
Try this:
Start> In search box type
Regedit
navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\
Look to see if there is a little graphic subkey between \Zones and subkey 0. If so, delete it. Restart your computer and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks, but no...there wasn't anything there. Just Zones, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. I think, it's just some gadgets need an update as well... I still haven't had time to pick out the culprit by uninstalling each update till I find it. But I will soon...I'm getting Uverse internet tomorrow, so I won't be able to get online, so I'll try it tomorrow and post back.
Am I the only one with this issue?
No, you have not been the only one. But searches all point to Adobe updates, AV programs, etc. For this last batch of Windows updates, yes, you appear to be the only one I could find having them caused by that. A Guy
Ohh...Ok, maybe it could have been Adobe flash...not sure....But I do know, that after I updated windows and restarted...that's when it happened....today is the day I'll figure it out...
