Not able to change gadget settings
Hi,
I recently installed Windows Ultimate 7 upgrade on top of existing Vista installation, and I'm not encountering weird behaviour when it comes to sidebar gadgets.
The 1st issue was that I wasn't able to install new gadgets, as clicking on "Desktop Gadget Gallery" wouldn't start anything, nor right-clicking on the sidebar and selecting "Gadgets".
I found a handy tip from here, and turned all gadgets off, restarted and turned them back on. After the 2nd restart, I was able to get to Gadget Gallery, and remove/install gadgets.
Unfortunately, the story doesn't end here. If I want to change e.g. the outlook of the "clock gadget", I have to go to gadget options, change the looks, confirm, and repeat the whole "change options" once more to actually see the gadget change.
For Google search gadget, what ever change I make doesn't seem to roll over, not even with the "do it twice" - method that seems to work for "Clock" and some other gadgets.
Any good suggestions what one should do?
The system is set to have two languages, Finnish and English, and the upgrage was Vista (FIN) -> 7 Ultimate (FIN). Could the installed languages and the fact I'm using English setting mess gadgets up?
