Troubleshooting

If you get an "unspecified error" message when trying to install, you might need to "unblock" the .gadget file. Right click on the downloaded file and choose "Properties", and there'll be a place near the bottom of the dialog to unblock it.

If the gadget isn't working, you can run a little program called DebugView from Microsoft that will allow you to see the gadget's log messages. If you find a bug, please email your logs to me to have a look.
