• 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
