- My UAC is enabled.
- sidebar.exe crashes with the message "Windows Desktop Gadgets has stopped working" everytime I run it. It doesn't appear in the process list after it crashes.
- All gadgets are the default ones. I did not install any new gadgets.
- The gadgets that I have enabled are the calender, clock, weather, and system performance gadgets.
- My side bar has been working for about 1 month ever since I installed Windows 7 build 7600.
- I have noticed that the sidebar started to crash after I installed Free Music Zilla, Audacity and SUPER Video converter. I did a system restore after I noticed that the sidebar crashed. It did not work, therefore I undid the system restore. Then, I uninstalled those programs but the sidebar is still crashing.
Please help.
