There is another “workaround” for those gadgets not functioning on Win 7. Try this, it worked for me when all the other solutions failed:L
There is a very easy solution for this problem:
1. open the regedit
2. navigate to this address:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet SettingsZones
3. Rt. click on Zones and export it to your desktop as a backup.
4. Delete Zones and re-start your computer.
5. You should be able now to display your gadgets.

Mine use to work and now it doesn’t. I haven’t changed any settings however I tried to do what it says here but “Settings” doesn’t exist in my “sidebar” folder it only has “compatibility” written there.
