    Can you right click on your desktop a select Gadgets? Try to run one. That shoudl start the sidebar. If not, go to Program Files\Windows Sidebar\ and click on sidebar.exe

    Scroll down to Windows Gadget Platform. If it is checked, uncheck and reboot PC. Go back and check it again and reboot. See if gadgets are back. If indeed you disabled it through another method:
