Has anyone else had problems with the gadgets? I typically run a weather gadget and a system monitor gadget and recently it started showing red "X"s like IE does when it can't find a picture file. The gadgets WORK but everywhere on it where it's looking for a picture file, it shows up as the dreaded red "X". It seems like somehow the location for the picture files has changed and the gadgets system can't find the files but I haven't changed my computer drive letters or anything. I have tried removing the gadgets system functionality using the add/remove windows components to see if it would reinstall correctly and that didn't do anything. Here is a screenshot of some desktop gadgets if I load them. As you can see, one system monitor relies so heavily on pictures that it's completely unusable now. It does this on every gadget including the originals included with Win7. Any ideas?

Only thing I can think of is to re-register the sidebar

"%programfiles%\windows sidebar\sidebar.exe" /regserver

regsvr32 "%programfiles%\windows sidebar\sbdrop.dll"

regsvr32 "%programfiles%\windows sidebar\wlsrvc.dll"
