DX Widgets and Gadgets not working

Sunday, March 13, 2011 by BigDogBigFeet | Discussion: 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.
