    Missing desktop gadgets


    MISSING DESKTOP GADGETS.
    I have 5 gadgets (Clock, Calendar, Weather, Norton, and Battery Meter). As evident from screen capture enclosed as word document Calendar is missing.
    I right click on the desktop and then gadgets – Nothing happens.
    I go to start menu ‘Desktop Gadget Gallery is missing.
    After this I try Control Panel and click on Desktop Gadgets. Click on it-Nothing happens. Right Click and then open – nothing happens.

    Last I try C drive ‘programs’ and click on side bar still no success.

    I will appreciate help from the forum members if there is any permanent solution.

    Restart PC, then repeat steps and put check mark next to Windows Gadget platform. See if that helps.
