DX Widgets and Gadgets not working

Published on March 13, 2011 By BigDogBigFeet In Object Desktop

Hi,

I've been working with my new Win 7 Home Premium 64bit based PC. I've lately been installing suites. I can't get DX gadgets and widgets working. DX runs but... themes only.

Could something be blocking it. Maybe Threatfire?

Puzzled.

edit: A few do work like Gloss Mint, Fire, and Aero Midnight. Still puzzled.

I discovered the solution, I think. I first have to right click on the program, select properties and then tell Windows to run it in XP compatibility mode. That works for Gadgets.
