I had a random crash today while installing the program Zone Alarm. Once I
rebooted everything seemed fine except the Sidebar. All the gadgets appear
blank and do not function and I can't seem to find any way to fix the
problem.

I tried downloading a new custom gadget but it did not work either.

I tried looking at the help function and here but didn't see anything that
would would.

Please help.
 
Hi,

Uninstall ZA and then do a system restore to a point before the crash. Then,
making sure you have the most recent release, retry installing ZA. If it
crashes again, stop trying to install it.

Good idea I'll try a system restore.

I'm fairly certain Zone Alarm itself wasn't the problem, it was the crash.
Of course I'm not sure what caused the crash. But I'll try the system
restore, hopefully that helps. I'll let you know.
