Desktop Gadgets

Hi,

I've not experienced this but you could try resetting the gadgets.

In Control Panel, Programs, under desktop gadgets you can select 'Restore default gadgets installed with Windows. This might cure any problems you have with your gadgets.

Note: Any gadgets you have downloaded may need to be uninstalled then re-installed.

Hope this helps :)

Nice info Jeff, never new about that option, I wonder if Shawn has done a tutorial for that one yet.

Where is this option, I've never seen this?

under Programs and features, there's a listing for the desktop gadgets?

Just here fella


Hope this helps :)

Added: Strange, it seems clicking anything here just opens up the gadget screen i'll have to look more in depth, it worked on 7077....

Added again: My bad, it does work

OOp, never seen that. I always switch my Control panel to small icons right away.

I was thinking you might have meant under Turn Windows Features on and off/Windows Gadget Platform. Which works usually too to fix any problems.

Thanks for the info dude.

It's right here, now I now why I have not noticed it, because I never view the control panel like that.



Edit: Bugger, you guys are too quick.
