Did you download them from the
Vista area? If not, they're probably not compatible. Most of the gadgets on that site only work on Live. That site is a mess if you ask me
, Sidebar should have it's own site to save all the confusion.
Another good place to look for gadgets is AeroXperience, which is where I post mine. And if you're after the Live Messenger gadget, go to Tom's site cener.co.uk
Unfortunately, the Gallery currently shows gadgets for all langauges, even if you are using a locale that a particular gadget does not support. If the gadget supports a language in your fallback chain, the gadget will load. However, many gadgets currently only support en-us, and it's quite easy to download one. With the consumer release of Vista we expect Gallery to only display gadgets that are supported in your locale.
Thanks,
Brian
