Windows Live Calendar Gadgethttp://wlcalendargadget.codeplex.com/project/feeds/rssWindows Live Calendar Gadget is a simple desktop calendar for Windows. It displays the events from internet calendars provided in iCalendar format.New Post: Installed but cant load in Windows 7http://wlcalendargadget.codeplex.com/discussions/447095<div style="line-height: normal;">Hi, this is rather Windows experience question. I am not sure what issues are you dealing with. Once you start the gadget it should be started automatically with the Windows. If you close it I believe it stops showing up after the startup. Also regarding the movies - the gadget is shown on your desktop and should be covered by any window you put on top of it (including the video). Minimization is not possible - the gadgets are either shown or closed. Hope this helps, maybe some Windows experience forum might be better source of help...<br /> </div>poulicekSat, 15 Jun 2013 09:31:56 GMTNew Post: Installed but cant load in Windows 7 20130615093156ANew Post: Installed but cant load in Windows 7http://wlcalendargadget.codeplex.com/discussions/447095<div style="line-height: normal;">I installed the gadget but on windows startup it is not loading.

An uninstall and reinstall of the gadget does not help. The issue could NOT be reproduced on my other computer (both are Win 7 64-bit).<br /> <br />I noticed this first last night, but my computer has been out of commission for about a week, so I can't be sure that's when it began. Have a strong internet connection, so that shouldn't be a factor.<br />poulicekFri, 14 Jun 2013 07:34:07 GMTReopened Issue: "Could not load the calendar" [9658] 20130614073407AReopened Issue: Gadget does not open...

Do you have in the menu an option to show the gadgets when you right-click on your desktop? If that's the issue, try to reinstall the software or download the other one (there are more of those tools available since those are only wrappers of the original gadget app from Win7)</p>poulicekThu, 06 Jun 2013 10:10:22 GMTCommented Unassigned: Can't run Gadget even after Codec installed [11059] 20130606101022A
