Gadgets Windows has Stopped Working - constant crash after downloading third-party gadget
So, I just installed windows 7 and I advanced and installed a third party gadget (pandora). When I went to connect to my pandora account, he does the rest of my fall of gadgets. Now, any time I try to delete a gadget or load one of them, I get a message that appears stating that the Windows Gadgets stopped working. I can't understand how to remove a gadget without loading each of them.
Thank you very much for the suggestion that I had not thought of that.
What I ended up doing was a system restore, which fixed the problem beautifully. I hope this helps anyone else with this problem :).

Button ThinkPad 8 Windows has stopped working
All of a sudden the Windows button has stopped working (no haptic feedback). The Tablet works otherwise, I can always power on it by the power button / stop. Unfortunately, the button power seems to be fragile and probably collapses when it is used on a daily basis.
Someone has an idea if possible otherwise remedy that is rented for a month in the repair? A loose connector, or something like that? I don't think that it may be a software issue.
Thank you.
First Windows button has stopped working, but now, after several weeks, the touchscreen so. I got replacement touch screen cable AP HM 00, 124 of the Lenovo service replacing the cable has solved.
I guess that's a design flaw , because the cable is longer than it supposed to be (see photo) so it becomes distorted and there caused by a variable pressure on the bottom when cover stand by the fingers on the lower part of 3 mm approximately. Fixation by band does not help, because it always "bubbles" somewhere I hope that this will happen again sooner or later these other two cables (audio connector and display) is not the issue.
