November 16, 2007 · version 2.38 Brendan BellinaI'm sorry, but I don't. I have not been able to determine why some Windows systems have this problem and I don't have an alternative way to handle the widgets other than relying on COM.

November 16, 2007 · version 2.38 Brendan BellinaI'm sorry. I really don't have any idea why COM would not be working on your system, only that COM is used to open the widgets. I'm not sure that experimenting on a Windows system is going to get you anywhere good though.

On a fresh copy of Windows XP SP2 I've downloaded Y!WE 4.03 and installed it, then downloaded The Widgets Widget and moved it into the My Widgets folder. I then started The Widgets Widget, named the first group "Standard Set" and dragged the Analog Clock widget and the Memory Gauge widget onto the group + button. Then I clicked the button and they opened just fine. On Windows the Widget uses COM to open the widgets. It may be that COM is not working properly on your system, but I do not know why that would be.
