  • Sidebar Gadgets "Widgets" gets not WMI information?

    I used Sidebar on XP Home SP3 machine for a few months.  I had pieces of an old installation of Norton Systemworks running on the machine that has not been deleted in the normal uninstall process.  I recently could finally remove the persistent parties.  But after doing so part of the Sidebar gadgets 'widgets' for HD discs, wired network traffic, etc., no longer work.  Some now display a message, "No. WMI information for readers", etc.  Even the entries in some gadgets settings are not saved after the entry.  I see nothing in WMI that indicates I'm not provide the access/information necessary for these applications of gadget.  Can someone tell me what I could do to restore this exchange of information on my system?

    Many people, I gave up.  I pulled a bought Windows 7.  Let me warn you that you will not be able to quickly see all the information and the activity happening on your computer as you would with XP.  But I guess I'm going to get used to it as I have more restrictions on execution of gadgets and other problems I had.

    Most expensive solution that I was hoping but maybe I will be chugging along for awhile now, with little, or problem now.  I find a lot of things with Windows 7 you need to do yourself.  Say not as many ways for him to do something and make it happen.  Oh, well, good luck for the rest of you who are hooked up with XP.

  • 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
