Just got a new computer and the windows seven gadgets were working for a month but now they are not appearing. When I add a gadget to my desktop it will usually have a red x or a i or the icon will not even show up. Please help because i cannot live without these gadgets.


Answer
You should try restoring your system to an earlier point in time, before the gadgets disappeared.

Go to the Start Menu, then in the search bar type "System Restore" and click it in the results.

Follow the steps and select a restore date that predates when your problem started.

If you don't feel comfortable with a System Restore, then take a look at this forum thread for other solutions - http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/0414d664-7a70-41e7-8abd-05292a87ad65

How do I get the Windows 7 Gadget bar to dock on one side of the screen?




Broccccc


In Windows Vista, I was able to dock the sidebar to one side, not having it overlap the windows but have the window adjust to the one side of the sidebar in full screen. The sidebar was fully displayed yet it wasn't overlapping any windows, and the windows were in full screen. How do I do that with the Windows 7 Gadget bar? I'd like my notes to be displayed to the right of the window conveniently.


Answer
Hi Broccccc,

I think you are talking about the taskbar. This displays at the bottom of the screen, but you can move it to display on the side of your screen. To do so click an empty space on the taskbar, and then hold down the mouse button and drag the taskbar to whichever side of the screen you wish it to display it on. When the taskbar is where you want it, release the mouse button.

Hope this helps!
