Windows 7 gadget's crashing?

[theevilsharpie]

I'm running a few gadgets in Windows 7, and every now and then, a gadget will "crash". When this happens, the gadget disappears and a black square the size of the gadget appears in its place. I can't "close" the black square, move it, or interact with it in any way. The only way to restore functionality to the gadget is to log out and log back in.

Any ideas as to what causes this?

Only a few specific gadgets? Or does this happen to any gadget?

I only use two gadgets, but both of them have crashed. Both gadgets came from Microsoft, and one came with Windows 7.

I see. Did you upgrade from a previous version of Windows? Was it a RC version of 7?

Nope. Clean install.
