    I right click on my desktop, and select 'Gadgets', and nothing happens.
    I have no sidebar, can I have help please? Anyone?

    It works in Virtual Machine on the same PC.
    P.S. I am running the MESH Stealth QX9770 SLR3, and the ************************ copy of Windows 7...

    Mine works just fine. Right click on desktop click on gadgets and they appear. Drag gadgets to desktop - no problem.

    Did you run either the ''remove watermark" or "send feedback removal" files.?

    Thanks - I suspect my problem started when I ran some files I shouldn't have.
    I am doing another install and will be a lot more careful. Would you mind telling me exacctly what file you used? are the "send feedback", watermark gone, is the OS activated?

    I appreciate your reply.


    ETA - FWIW - I did get the Vista sidebar and gadgets to work in 7000.
