Gadgets on my desktop computer don't work. It's bin like this for quite a while but now I've got the time to do something about it. All gadgets don't work, not just the downloaded ones, but the pre-loaded ones like news and clocks. I can put them on the desktop but they are blank. (usually with the red cross in the top left corner) If I put my cursor over the box it brings up the option to close it so I do to get rid of the box. I don't remember what I did to stuff this up but can someone please help me out?

Thanks.
