Vista Sidebar Repeating Entries

I am having a problem with my vista sidebar. It loads up initially just fine
but then all of a sudden a constant repetition of the calendar option stats,
it stops when it goes like 40something pages deep (I think that is the
limit). I tried deleting the ini file, and it just regenerated with the same
problem. If I try to close them sidebar crashes and it takes windows with it.
I'm running Vista Ultimate with 4gb of ram if that matters.

Have you tried exiting the Sidebar, start it back then readd the Gadgets?

it didn't help. upon restart they instantly added themselves again.

It takes a few seconds after it starts but it seems to do it without fail.

on the Command Prompt and choose "Run as administrator".
Type in: SFC /SCANNOW and press your Enter key.

This should repair/replace any corrupted system files.

If that does not work, try repairing your system. Boot from your Windows
Vista DVD, select the System Repair Option > on the setup screen, select
'Repair Computer > Select your installation of Windows > select Startup
Repair option and follow instructions.

No luck tried both and it didn't work. Still they all load.

No luck again. I tried what you said and it immediately reloaded doing the
same thing.
