Sidebar problem

I just upgraded? from XP and I like the sidebar. The problem is that I can't load any gadgets that I download using the "get more gadgets online". When I try and run the gadget, the sidebar goes dark (very quickly) and then back to normal, but the new gadget isn't installed. I have made sure that the Windows Sidebar is the default program for gadgets, but nothing seems to work. What am I missing?

Re: Sidebar problem

The Get More Gadgets link simply goes to a website where you can download
the gadgets and install them.

That link should take you to this site:

Re: Sidebar problem

I wondered if I was specific enough, sorry. I have downloaded several gadgets from the http://vista.gallery.microsoft.com/v...aspx?mkt=en-us link. After I get them downloaded and try to install ... that's where I run aground. It acts like it wants to install it, but it doesn't actually install it.
