Win 7 gadgets not appearing proper.

For some reason the gadgets in windows 7 are not working properly. I can open the gadget gallery and select a gadget, but it doesn't show the entire thing. For example i select the clock, and all it shows is a black square with the red ticking hand frozen. Another example is the CPU meter. All it shows when i click on it is a little white square where the meter should be. I can still close the gadgets by way of the close button on each gadget though (the calendar doesn't appear at all). UAC is turned on and i have rebooted the pc, same thing still happening.

How do i Fix it ?
 
Initially, I would suggest running a virus scan just to make sure that there isn't anything that's harming your PC or its functions: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Although, I have had this happen to me before and all I did to remedy it was to turn off the gadget feature for a day or two and then reboot, although, it seems that you've done that already.
