Already done all the obv inc above. Nothing changed from time it worked till not, I installed Gadget pack lastly. The DX file is there, I renamed it to .old as a test then replaced it with a copy from other OS and PC went mad at start-up with blue circle and nothing worked, I had to boot to other OS and change back to original and now ok bar Gadgets not working.
Just says YOU don't know much! Well, for ME, there's no equivalent DOCKING application for my Web Cams... I've got a couple, keeping tabs on the garage, front door, etc.
Is the 64 bit version around anywhere? Checked the original 3 links and looked a few pages back, but all are dead. Can someone reup? Is the 8gadgetpack just an installer that does the steps from the OP or is it some different way of getting gadgets working? Cheers
What exactly is the 8 Gadget Pack? Is it the actual program files from Windows 7 Gadgets? Or is it a different software that installs gadgets that are similar to Microsoft's Windows 7 Gadgets? As for example there are programs that install both Windows Sidebar and gadgets on windows XP but they are not the same software as the Microsoft programs. Just software that gives you a sidebar on Windows XP that looks like the Windows Sidebar on Windows Vista. But it's not exactly the same.
Windows Sidebar from Windows Vista worked with or ran off of Windows Gadgets on Windows 7 and Windows 8 RP.So it worked. On Windows 8 Pro which I have not yet installed,there is no Windows Gadgets,as they have removed it. So it could be that even if I copied over both Windows & Gadgets and Windows Sidebar files from Windows 7 and Windows Vista.It may not work because of this.
I use 8gadgetpack for a while now, but since 2-3 versions before until now, I am experiencing application crashes once in 2 to 3 times... Does anyone know why or what should I do? Thanks...
A have the same problem, when windows start sometime the gadgets crashes....why? I have windows 8 pro x64 original
Same for me on a clean install of Win 8 Pro 64 About 50% of the time it crashes on start-up, I right click desktop and "Show Desktop Gadgets" option to close, then run them again to fix.
I turned them off with task manager and start them again. It is happening from earlier versions. Has anyone a suggestion on how to solve this?
I finally disabled them from starting at boot. I created a desktop shortcut to C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe and run it manually after the OS is up.
same crashing problem here with 8gadgetpack on win8 pro x64, i found that was the daemon tools gadget the problem...
