Windows 7 Can'T Install Or Run Gadgets

[ameneses54]

Dear users,
I don't know when it started, but now I can't download or install any gadgets. If I right click on the desktop and choose gadgets, and double click a displayed one which I didn't download, all I get is a partial nonworking icon.
Please advice.
I've tried turning UAC on and off, but it doesn't help.

Hi saintzer05 and Welcome to the Forum.

Open regedit.exe. Export (backup) and then delete this registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\

Re-boot. Restart sidebar process.
