| | Gadgets Stopped Working I don't know what the problem is, i have freshly installed Windows 7 Ultimate Beta x64. I added Calender on my Desktop. And after my 2nd restart I am no more able to access Gadgets. Even the Gadgets option doesn't show up. I have disabled UAC. Need help Thanks. |

| | That's why. You disabled UAC. The gadgets won't work without it on, unless you do the tweak to allow them to run without it on. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...off.html?ltr=G I wouldn't recommend disabling UAC though. |

| | UAC's main purpose is for security. You can read all about it and what it's for from this tutorial and other links. It's there for a reason, not just an annoyance. Also, constantly disabling it and re enabling it can make some programs react adversely.

| | That link you posted to use gadgets without UAC has some strange side effects for me. All of my docks stop working correctly, in that they all stay at the bottom layer regardless of what I set. Also, any new windows, apps, etc I open are also all minimised. No massive problem really, I just undid and switched UAC back on at the lowest setting. It is not too intrusive. Anyone else have this problem? |

| | I wouldn't do it personally. It's not that big of a bother to me. It can have some strange effects on things if you turn it off and on a lot I've heard. |

| | Well... I also turned it off for now... I wanted to keep it on the 2nd setting but it just HAS TO annoy the fook out of me when I need to do administrator things.. not allowing me to elevate or so... Just can't stand that crap. And tbh.. didn't have a single virus ever or malicious install on vista, not once.. never used UAC. Either one knoes one's sh*t or one doesn't when it comes to security. UAC is only 'useful 'for the many naabs out there. |
