slide show gadget

I have a static slide show gadget that I can't get to show any other pictures
than the default sample picture - just 1. I have set it to access my
pictures folder and all subfolders, but they never show up. I click play,
nothing happens. I click next...nothing happens.

I tried to restore the default gadgets through the properties dialogue, but
that option is greyed out.

I'm stuck...

Re: slide show gadget

Try this:

First delete the Slide Show gadget from the Sidebar. Then right click on the
Sidebar icon in the System tray and select Properties. Then click the "Restore
gadgets installed with Windows" button.

Re: slide show gadget

Perhaps this may work: delete it from the Sidebar first, then right click on
the Sidebar Notification Area icon and select "Add Gadgets..." , right click the
Slide Show icon and select Uninstall. This should active the "Restore..."
button and you will be able to re-install the Slide Show gadget.
