For some reason, Gadgets in my Windows 7 OS stopped displaying properly. Did a little research on internet and found that UAC may be the culprit. However, despite putting UAC on level 2, they still don't appear properly.
I am able to choose and add Gadgets on the desktop, but they won't display properly.

I suggest you disable "Windows Gadgets Platform", restart your machine, re-enable it and check if the problem persists.
To do that, go to the
Control Panel, click theProgramsheading, and chooseTurn Windows features on or off. Find theWindows Gadget Platformoption and remove the check mark from the box to its left, then click the “OK” button.
