Basically, the sidebar itself comes up, but the actual gadgets are completely screwed up. The clock is all black, the weather is just a blank box and the notepad doesn't even show up at all. All the gadgets started doing this earlier today and I can't figure out why, it just suddenly happened. I've been researching all day and cannot figure out a solution that works. I've tried typing in recommended dll.'s into the Command Prompt, and it told me that there was something corrupted, but that it couldn't automatically fix it. Any suggestions? I just ran a virus scan and only found one (which is now deleted), so I don't get what happened. Answers extremely appreciated!!
