Problems with gadgets for the sidebar

[Peter Flindt]

Hello,
sorry if this here is the wrong newsgroup, but there is no other place for
this, except this gadget developer forum, therefore I post this here and in
the forum.

I can't install gadgets!

I visit the gallery website, find some interesting gadgets and click on
download
Result => the gadget is stored as "GADGET_NAME[1].gadget.~0000" in
"C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets" but NOT
added to the sidebar and I can't find it in the "sidebar folder" when I
click on the "+" sign.

Now I must:
1)Open this folder and rename GADGET_NAME[1].gadget.~0000 to
GADGET_NAME.Gadget
2)rename the subfolder en-US to de-DE
3)open and close the sidebar

If this the way they sidebar should work? I think no...

regards
Peter

Hi,

I found this to be a profile issue. To fix it - I created a new admin
profile. I logged in and installed gadgets and setup properly. I then copied
the files including the settings.ini over the other profile gadget settings
and it fixed it.

My problem was with the sidebar not showing any gadgets.

Cheers,
Lara
