What is the problem? I can't tell from looking at the picture.

The buttons on the slideshow are almost invisible, I tried deleting and restoring the gadget but it still won't fix it. : / The buttons some how still works.

I've uploaded it with the paper clip tool, my mouse cursor is on the side show gadget but somehow it doesn't show it on the screenshot.

I don't know what the buttons are.

Maybe others can help you now.

 

[Ztruker]

There should be a left, pause and right button at the bottom of the gadget window.



Try deleting the gadget then reboot and create it again.

I tried uninstalling and restoring back it back. : /

 

[Ztruker]

??? Don't understand. What is the status after deleting and setting it up again?

@Ztruker,
Here is what I got from the OP's post:

I tried uninstalling and restoring back it back. : /

I tried uninstalling and restoring back (period)

The buttons on the slideshow are back.



@Lemon Tree,
The buttons on the slideshow are supposed to be there.

No amount of removing/restoring the gadget is going to make them go away.

(Just my guess. I'm not a gadget kind of guy.)

ack sorry, I mean to they still faded out, but it's opacity goes back to 100% when I click on them and goes back transparent when I move my cursor away from the slideshow gadget. : /

 

[Ztruker]

What do you have the opacity for the gadget set to?

 

[Lemon Tree]

I had mines at 100, but the buttons looks out of place like they're only at 10% : /

Did this just occur? After making some change? They worked fine X days ago, and you booted up your PC to find this? If so, a System Restore point from before it began may be the fix.

If you are unaware of any changes made just before it started, or it's always been that way, or it started too long ago to restore. Try turning the Windows Gadget Platform off, reboot, and turn it back on.

It's been like that since I set up my new PC 10 days ago. : / I tried restoring and turning it off too.

Hate to resurrect dead threads, but I had this exact same issue and found this thread while googling trying to find the cause of the problem and how to fix it. I didn't find the solution directly, but I did figure it out after finding what was causing gadget problems on one of my other systems.

The cause of the problem with the gadget is the Internet Explorer 11 update. IE11 breaks functionality of a bunch of different gadgets in Windows 7, but because Microsoft stopped supporting sidebar gadgets a long time ago, they likely have no intention of fixing this issue.

The only way to fix it I have found so far is to Uninstall the IE11 update. I don't use IE11 so it's not an issue for me, it will remain an issue for people that are set on using IE11.
