Rip or R.I.P gadgets / Widgets ??

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi all,

 

Where have been stored the RIP (or R.I.P 2007 ?) gadgets / widgets ? which i used at least for calendar in there : https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/screenshots/21453/ :

Can't find on Wincustomize and it it was a premium suite where to download it again (not appearing in my Stardock account ... )

 

Thanks in advance

Jim I cannot remember the details and not sure if this even applies but was there not a fix that you and I talked about a while back for making gadgets work on a 64bit machine something about replacing a file in the 64 bit sidebar folder with the one from the 32bit folder or are we talking about standalone gadgets which are not dependent on that?

:thumbsup:        You are correct Ken, twice.

There is a fix for the sidebar gadgets, and this thread is about regular gadgets.

BTW, I just installed Win 7 x64 in a triple boot rig.

Any idea why the RIP 2007 clock gadget don't work ?



 

RIP 2007 Clock gadget is working fine for me on 7, 8.1, and 10.

Which DX version do you get ?

Reply #29 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Doesn't matter. Gadgets work on any machine, even ones that have no DX.

 

But I use DesktopX Pro Beta 4 (3.96).

For the record, the Win7 rig I am running the gadget on has no DesktopX installed.

Fresh install of Win 7 64 bit. Nothing added but one teeny tiny gadget.

At least now I can get some gadgets. Didn't remember which ones were the stand-alones.

Tested on several PC and config :

1 XP SP3 without DesktopX installed : Stardock Clock gadgets working OK

3 XP SP3 with 2 different versions of DesktopX, same result

1 Seven 32 bits without DesktopX installed : Stardock clock gadgets all working

The one with Seven Pro 64 bits (DesktopX 3.50) ! none of the Stardock clock gadgets coming with their (old) premium suites not working; wherever i put the  Gadgets folder ...On this PC all your clock gadgets are perfectly working ... :omg:   (well that's a trouble to get a terrible headache)

Let me ask, is your DesktopX 3.50 the Pro version?

If so, it won't allow anything scripted to run.

It shouldn't affect gadgets, but maybe it does.

I don't think it's the PRO version (got it with my Object Desktop subscription)

Anyway i found solution to run the RIP Clock on my Sevn Pro 64 bits : just hold the pictures from the "AppData" coming with the gadget and re did it as a widget, perfectly running :grin:

 

But that's not explaining why those specific Stardock gadgets won't run on it ... :annoyed:
