I bought my HP Laptop about a month ago and its going really well. However, for the past couple of days whenever I start up my computer the Desktop gadgets don't work, and I always get a message saying "Windows Desktop Gadgets Stopped Working". I tried restarting the computer several times but did not solve the problem. I also tried opening the gadgets window to uninstall some of them, but nothing is opening ! what can I do..

please download this reg file from my SkyDrive: http://cid-128fc518635be2dc.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/MS%20Foren/Registry/LocalDumps.reg and make a double click on the file to import it. When an application like Sidebar.exe (Gadgets) crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service [1] creates a dmp file under C:\Localdumps. Please upload the sidebar.exe dump (zip it first) to your public Skydrive [2] folder and post the link here. I take a look at the dump with the Debugger, maybe I can see the cause.
