Vista gadget problem.

[HermitGuy]

Here is the deal, I installed Vista home premium retail upgrade two weeks ago and so far vista is running well but the gadgets I pulled off the sidebar onto my desktop keep crawling away from the right side of the screen toward the center.
I have a dual monitor setup and they are on the right side of the second monitor but with every restart they move slightly toward the center, if they keep this up they will be on my main screen in a few weeks. I'm actually kind of curious to see if they crawl that far.
Anyhow I don't see a way to lock them to the desktop and I don't know if this is a vista bug or a video driver bug. So far I've stayed with the official drivers installed when I loaded vista since other than this it seems pretty stable.

Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help!

I have the exact same problem

Detach the gagets from the sidebar and move all to the right. After a few day the gagets are almost in the middle

Thanks for the response Kevinali, now maybe we can both get some help from someone else who's seen this and has a fix for it.

I've got a single display and I find that some of them move up and down slightly with each reboot, but I haven't noticed a crawl to the center...that would get preeettty annoying.

It's funny you should mention that you don't have the crawl problem with one display because I've been wondering if they were migrating back to the main display.
I think I'll let them keep crawling to see if that's what happens, or until I find a solution either here or somewhere else in my Internet wanderings.

I have a single display hooked up and every time I run a full screen application any undocked gadgets move toward the left of the screen (about 3/4 of the way).

Hmmm, I don't seem to have the full screen application problem, just the one I spoke of in my first post. They certainly could be related though, maybe at some point someone will read this who can point us to a fix because I sure haven't found one yet.
