    Thank you Popeye1953,

    I had a can of spinage and reinstalled Win7 and the rest of my programs. I felt that if there was a corruption, it may be a warning that more problems lie ahead.

    I have noted the Regedit entries and what to delete.

    This will help

    I had the same problem after catching a Trojan
    - my gadgets where only blank pease...nothing worked for me...

    My solution was:
    Gadgets not Displaying Correctly in Windows 7 - Fix

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\
    with pseudo-graphic number, you'll see it before zone number 0.

    It seems this is a bug of Adobe flash player update, though I am not sure.
    The pseudo-graphic number they speak of before zone number 0 looks like a miniature upper case "L"."..just Delete it and thats it..

    :) good luck

    Thanks!!

    I did reinstall Windows. Thanks for the suggestion. I will make a note of this and I am in agreement about the Adobe Flash player. Have a nice Easter holiday.
