Can someone help me with my windows 7 gadgets?

I have a Windows 7 hp laptop. I have some gadgets on the right side of my screen such as the calendar, CPU usage meter, reversi, etc. But since a few months ago, almost every time I turn on my computer, the gadgets move to the left about 2 inches. I move them back to the right side again but the next time I turn on my computer, the move to the left again. Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it?

Answer
Hi Landon,

By default, gadgets "stick" to each other and to the edge of the screen, however you should be able to move them wherever you want them by simply dragging them to a different location on your desktop.

Gadget to show fan speed in Windows 7?

Q. I would like a sidebar gadget to show the fan speeds of my computer. I have Core Temp right now as well as GPU Observer. I like them both, however they do not show fan speed. I'd prefer either an all in one (GPU, CPU temp, RAM usage, and fan speed) or just fan speed and nothing else, but I'll take any suggestions. I have two computers I'd like to put it on, one a Dell Latitude D630 32 bit and a MacBook Pro Retina 64 bit, both Windows 7 Professional.

Answer
OpenHardwareMonitor.

Not a gadget, but it shows everything.

If you want temps and stuff, you can drag them into your tray beside the time. Much better than gadgets.

is there an gadget for my window 7 computer that sends me my emails?

Zack

its like an gadget that i don't have to long on to yahoo to check my mails.
when i log on my computer it sends me an i can see an gadget saying u have an email.
its similar to the iPhone one where it says mail on the bottom of the screen well unless u deleted it but its something similar to that but it would be for my window computer.

Answer
Windows Gadgets are insecure and vulnerable to attack. Microsoft could not be bothered to fix the issue and recommended users disable the feature (or suffere the potential catastrophes at their own risk), so you will not find many Gadgets outside of the first run, even from 3rd (good developers don't program for bad features).

Also, Yahoo (has always before anyway) reserves the use of clients and forwarding for it's premium mail users (your Gadget would basically be a mail client, only sending alerts.... it would still be trying to log on from outside yahoo servers which is not allowed, except for a fee)

How do you get the hp printing gadget for windows 7 back?

prissessva

I clicked the X on the hp printing gadget on my computer that has windows 7. Will it come back on it's own or do I have to get it back? And if I do, how?

Answer
I can't speak to this particular situation, but if you're unable to get it back, you can always go to HP's Web site and download the latest driver for your particular printer. The process of re-installing that driver should set everything back to the way it was, and you'll be assured of having the latest, most up-to-date software for your printer.
