Gadgets!!

Whenever I download a gadget and double click it nothing happens.. I can open the Gadget menu on the desktop and use windows default gadgets but can seem to install any of my own that have been downloaded! I have turned UAC on and off. Tried putting the gadget into the gadget folder. Have also tried adding the AllowElevatedProcess
to the registry in Windows Sidebar but still no look.
Please help me!

Are you copying the folder to shell:gadgets?

Unzipping them onto the desktop is not a good place. Created a folder on one of your hard drives called UnZipped. Then create subfolders in UnZipped for each different gadget that you want to install. Then try installing them from the subfolders.

Still no luck with this guys! Its really starting too annoy me now.

No matter what i try i cant seem to install any new gadgets. When i double click nothing appears or anything. I tried allowing elevated process in registry. Tried copying gadget to the gadget folder but still nothing.

PLEASE JUST HELP! ill give rep to anybody who helps.

Try disabling your anti-virus. Then download a new copy of the gadget, and run it.

Still no look with this :/

Just to make sure, you're double-clicking on the .gadget file, and nothing is happening?

Has it always been this way, or did this just recently arise?

Have you un checked Show desktop gadgets, under View form the desktop context menu? That will stop the sidebar.exe process, and go back and re enable it, then try.

Or how about this?
