Have you exited the Sidebar, restart it then try again? Also, is this
happening with a specific or multiple gadgets? Can you install the Gadget on
another account on the system?

Try the following, it might be a virus, run full scan of your system, run
another scan in safe mode. Also do this:

Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories and right-click
on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator".
Type in: SFC /SCANNOW and press your Enter key.

This should replace/repair any corrupted files.

After that try adding gadgets again.

ok done that and this is what it said

98% complete windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable
to fix some of them

details are included in the cbs.log windr\logs\CBS\CBS.log
for example C;\windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

so what does that bit mean ?
