Microsoft Calendar Gadget in the sidebar shows a square orange colored on Windows Vista

Original calendar gadget title: Microsoft in the Sidebar, Vista

The gadget shows today just a square of orange color, not month day date etc.

How can I return the date etc.?

Hi RichardStonhold,

This problem occurs due to lack of scripting Runtime check. Save the file vbscript.dll from an admin command prompt solves the problem. Follow these steps:

 

Method 1:

(a) open an Admin command prompt window. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

(b) type the following command and press ENTER:

c) regsvr32.exe vbscript.dll

You should see the following message after running the command:

DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll successful.

Method 2: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  • Load the images in the slide show before ugly background color

    I'm doing a site based on a template Freeccs.  This particular model was chosen because my client wants a slideshow on each page, and it is one that is generated by javascript.

    The problem is the following: such as load images for the slideshow, a bright red background color fills the space where the images will be displayed on-screen.

    Can someone tell me how to change the red background to something less distracting, like a dark gray?  I guess that the javascript code sets the color, but I don't know javascript.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
