Hello all
Here's my problem, when I try to download sidebar gadgets from the Microsoft site the download box comes up but when I click the open button the process seems to start then just disappears. If I click the save button the gadget downloads to my system but Vista does not seem to recognize the file type.
I know Vista is suppose recognize gadget files by default so what have I done to my Vista install that would explain this.
By the way, I use Vista home premium and gadget downloads worked fine up until recently. I can't pinpoint when they stopped working or what I might done to cause this. Other than this my Vista system is working well and sidebar with already installed gadgets is also working fine, so if anyone has any advice or can point me in the right direction I would be thankful.
I have googled this until my fingers have fallen off (I'm now typing with my toes ) and I haven't found any help at Microsoft sites either so help me please someone!!
