Recently I have had to buy a new Hard Drive and re-install windows. But now, all my desktop gadgets wont work, I drag them from the manager to the desktop and their manager icon sticks to my desktop, and then some of the gadgets wont work.

I can't change the options for any of the gadgets, and the barely work. Any suggestions? They all worked before I had to re-install windows.

I'm sorry to let you down but I would advise removing your custom gadgets and disabling them due to vulnerabilities found in them.   Gadgets have been discontinued my Microsoft.  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-nz/windows/gadgets

Yeah I realize that, but they are just something I like to have. I like the graph offered by the CoreTemp gadget, and the GPU temp gadget helps me monitor it. Any alternatives you can think of?

Thanks, 

Austin
