Hello there I just found this older thread and thought to post my issue here. First of all, I am using a vLited Vista /w SP1. I removed some components, added drivers etc. I kept the sidebar, cause I like using some nifty gadgets. Basicly I am using those you can see here: http://addgadget.com/ As you notice, those gadgets all have some timeline drawing of e.g. CPU / Network / Memory usage and such. The gadgets self do work - however, the gadgets don't draw those usage graphs for me (I am talking about these yellow / greenish lines at the bottom of each gadget). Neither of those gadgets does. The area is just "blacked out" for me. Is it possible, that they rely on a component or service, which I removed with vLite, to acquire the information in order to display it ? Thanks for any reply in advance Sony
