They worked until I disconnected. Can someone tell me in simple steps how to get gadgets to work and be up to date again? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

move Sidebar gadgets on the desktop
When I placed my vista sidebar gadgets on my desk instead of in the fixed sidebar, they move slowly to the left side of my screen whenever I restart my pc. Someone else also has this problem? And how you can solve this problem, so that the gadgets get a position fixed on the desktop?
Thank you!
Hello gerolimenos,
That looks like what happens is the resolution changes. When you play certain games, the resolution is automatically changed to correctly display the game. If a game is not completely compatible with the operating system of development, small changes can occur, such as when the resolution is changed after the game, gadgets are not delivered to the original location.
Another flaw, could be 3rd party applications that start with Windows. Try to perform a cleanboot to determine if it could be a possible cause as well. Full instructions on these steps are located here.
Hope this helps

Gadgets for Windows Sidebar does not display correctly
Hello
I just installed a new antivirus-Sophos which automatically uninstalled my previous installation of McAfee that came with my Dell laptop.
Am running Vista SP2 32 bit, Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM, @2 GHz T6400.
After installing antivirus and subsequent reboot, my sidebar is displayed and so do the gadgets, but they are all "corrupt" and not displaying correctly. For example, the clock is dark, and change the opacity does not allow me to see the time. Calendar, notes, and UC only appear as a vertical white line. None of them appears correctly.
