Vista sidebar Gadget problem ?

[Mr Stalkington]

I fell asleep on the keyboard and somehow added the calendar gadget to the sidebar multiple times. Every time I start the computer the sidebar tries to load all the gadgets, maxes out the memory, and freezes the computer up. How do I get rid of the duplicate gadgets before it maxes out the memory & freezes up?

Go into your CONTROL PANEL, choose WINDOWS SIDE BAR ,then choose if you want the SIDEBAR to start when you you start your machine.Also, you can get rid of all of the gadgets by hovering to the right of them and you will see an "X" which allows you to close that particular gadget. Click the "X" for each one you want to close and it will not open again unless you choose to add it , or you fall asleep with your hand on the keyboard.
