    I was about to show you my Calendar gadget but I guess it's too broken that it can't even be seen
    Restoring Gadget option in control panel didn't help at all
    so what should I do next?

    According to the research I did when this happened, the only full fix (recommended by MS) is a reinstall of Win 7. Repair install sometimes works, so try that first to retain settings and such.
