Gadget Problems..

from WinCustomize Forums
Hey guys,

I'm having a problem when I go to apply one of the Sirus gadgets that MikeB did. Every single one comes up with a message saying "Problem accessing DesktopX Sidebar-framework.", i've tried installing DesktopX and rebooting but it doesn't work. Could it be a compatibility issue with x64?

Here's a pic of what it looks like incase anyones curious:

This seems to happen with gadgets exported from DesktopX...

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Astyanax0 since this is dealing with a gadget that was made to go with a specific WB I think a PM to MikeB would be the way to go. It maybe a bug that he is not aware of. Just a suggestion.  ;)

I don't really have any clue how DX interacts with the Vista sidebar. I just selected the option when I exported my gadget and let DX worry about the rest. I would expect that all sidebar gadgets created with DX would suffer from the same problem.

Its not just the gadgets for Sirus, as I had originally said others that where DesktopX originally get this error. I have a feeling it doesn't get along with the x64 sidebar.

@MikeB: Yeah I tried a few others to see if this was the case, it is. I had even tried installing DesktopX and rebooting, but that didnt change anything. (:(
