Fix - Windows7 Gadgets may not work or display properly

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/140358-gadgets-not-displaying-correctly-windows-7-fix.html

Hi,
I hope someone can help me in this issue.
I used to have my gadget working properly, but something has happened, and now I see the following screen.

I have tried almost everything, I have turned it on/off, reinstalled, disabled the UAC etc. but nothing helped!

I hope you can me, as I really want to use these gadgets....

Thanks in advance,

I Installed a new AV, restarted the computer and at the sturtup i got a message error H:\Windows\System32\sshnas21.dll could not be found. The gadgets become black again. I ran a deep system scan, 3 items were infected and deleted. I dont get the error message on the sturtup anymore, but my gadgets are black again and I don't know what to do. At least i brought a good AV.

Welcome to Seven Forums xavier0156. You can try a couple of things.

Start> In search box type turn windows features on or off and press enter

Untick box next to Windows Gadget Platform, and restart. Reverse procedure and put tick mark next to Gadget Platform again. See if this fixed it.

If no, try the System Files Checker

Hello everyone!
I have the same problem as szilvia, although mine isn't fixed.
I have followed both of the tutorials that A Guy posted above but the problem hasn't been fixed yet. A sfc /scannow command was run afterwards, and no integrity violations were found on my PC.

Is there any other way I could get this problem fixed?

Thank you!
