You might also add that you may lose the Media Center gadget after doing a repair install. I'm pretty sure that's what made me lose it.

Hi Aaron,

Did you lose any other gadget than that one?

**Airbot** · 02-11-2009

No, just that one. I hadn't noticed until after I deleted all the discard folders. More about it in here:

I can't get it to connect though. It just continuously loads now.

Umm, ok. I added my copy at that link to see if it will help. I'll see if anyone else reports this as well to see if this is more common.

Well , I tried to do the repair ,but it stopped without any explanation! I'll have to do a clean install ,and that won't be a problem. I don't have much programs installed so it will be over in two or three hours! And now I'll install it on newer and bigger disk!

I'm sorry to hear that Kizo. I hope the new install will run better for you.
