I've already done that. And done it once again after your reply. No Difference.

Do you have a 3rd party firewall program installed that may be blocking them?

What gadgets is this happening with?

I'm using Eset 6 and its firewall is off. I'm using Windows Firewall. There are no other applications for firewall.

Is this with any specific gadget(s), or all of them?

All the windows gadgets are not working and any gadget i install like daemon tools gadget, tune up gadget none of these are working.

If you have a restore point dated before this happened, you could do a system restore to hopefully fix it.

Otherwise, you may need to either reinstall or do a repair install.

Have this problem from a long time. Didn't recognize it to be a problem. So, restore not possible.
And if i go for a repair install will all my applications be retained including documents where saved files of games and some applications get stored.?

Your programs and user folders will not be affected by a repair install.

However, I would always recommend to back up anything that you do not want to lose first just to be safe. In this case, creating a system image first would be ideal to be able to do a system image recovery with it if needed.
