Try this fix: if you have 8Gadgetpack installed on your computer, click on start logo>all programs. Look for 8gadgetpack. In the dropdown box you should see something like – 8GadgetPack Tools, Gadgets, Uninstall 8GadetPack Tools. Double click on 8GadgetPack Tools. A menu should pop up on your computer screen with the following options: Add gadgets>Enable Autorun>Make gadgets larger>Enable sidebar…etc. Select: Enable Autorun. Turn off your computer and then reboot it. All the gadgets you have previously selected should appear as if by magic!!! It works for me every time, so why not give it a try and see for yourself. Good luck:)
