    I'm just hitting a slew of issues lately. Every once in a while when I start my computer, my Sidebar loads strange. Like, it will either be empty, or the gadgets will be in a different order, or the gadgets will load on top of each other. WHY?!?! lol. What have I done to deserve this?

    If I close and reopen Sidebar, they go back to how they're supposed to be, but why can't it do it right when loading by itself during startup???

    I wondered that myself too.

    I suspected the video card driver, because after I updated it, it no longer happened.
