Recently the gadgets in the Sidebar have become blank, e.g instead of the clock I get a black dial with a thin red needle pointing at 12. Instead of the calendar I get a white square. Any gadget added to the sidebar is affected and any gadget detached from the sidebar remains affected.
Has anyone got any ideas what is happening?
Thanks
Steve
