Windows 7: Windows 7 Sidebar Gadgets Glitch

Hello everyone.. My Windows 7 Ultimate x64 has been running perfectly for more than 5-6 months, and untill now, I haven't had any problems with it (except drivers issues)
Few days ago my Sidebar gadgets 'decided' to stop working for some strange reason; I have tried many things to repair them: Restore default gadgets etc. without any success.
Here is a screenshot of my desktop > http://i41.tinypic.com/cknt1.png
All of my gadgets just look 'glitched'. I would appreciate any help regarding my problem. Thanks in advance!

Try the following. Rename your sidebar in C > Programs to Sidebar(2) - you may have to "Take ownership". Then run sfc /scannow in elevated cmd or move another sidebar folder from another system into C > Programs.

Hi. thanks for your help, I have "Took ownership" and ran the command sfc /scannow. It says that it has found errors, and reparied most of them.
Here is the report after the scan Download CBS.log for free on uploading.com
Thanks for your all your help, but the problem has not been solved

Did you rename the sidebar folder in C > Program files before you ran the sfc. Do you have a way to get another sidebar folder from another system?

Hi there,
Open taskmgr and kill sidebar.exe process.
Open the run box and type the following text and press Enter.

Rename the Settings.ini to Settingsold.ini and then launch the gadgets again.

Let us know if it works.

Nope.. it didn't work.. The gadgets remain 'glitched'

Is there any way to re-install my Windows Sidebar gadgets?
