    I'll run you through what I do:
    1. open The Widgets Widget
    2. Open up explorer and navigate to where my widgets are which is:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\My Documents\My Widgets
    3. I drag and drop the widgets I want onto the (+) sign
    4. Close file explorer and click the name of my group
    5. This is where the error pops up for each widget I'm trying to open

    Do you think it could be a problem with where my "My Widgets" folder is?
    Thanks for your help.

    Are you adding widgets from the desktop, or from your Widgets folder? If you download a Widget you should put in in the standard Widgets folder and then add it from there. It sounds like the widget location has changed sometime after you added it to the group and so it cannot be found to open. Without more information that is my best guess.

    Error attempting to open "Yahoo! Notepad.widget".

    What is this? And it happens when I try to put any widgets in the groups.
