    Can't add gadgets to the desktop


    I'm having a problem. I can't add gadgets to the desktop.
    I right-click in the desktop and then Gadgets and doesn't open.
    I tried in control panel and doesn't open either.
    I rebooted and nothing.
    What can I do?

    Do you have UAC turned on? It has to be on for the gadgets to open.

    One of the things that I most hated in windows vista the few days I used was UAC.
