    Gadgets not showing


    I have tried the fix in this post:

    Gadgets not Displaying Correctly in Windows 7 - Fix

    It fixes the problem only temporarily, but after a few days the problem rises again.

    Thanks for your help.

    Are the gadgets black, or white with a little arrow? If they are white, try this

    Worse then not loading at all? :) Did you try all the suggestions? Including this one?

    OK, try this. Navigate to

    C:\Users\(Your user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar

    Copy the Settings.ini to another location so if this doesn't work, you can copy it back. Now delete the .ini file. reboot and see if that helps.

    I cannot delete settings.ini, I get a message saying that the file is open in Windows Desktop Gadgets.

    Maybe I can try to do it nex time that gadsgets don't show.
