Hello all,

Whenever I try to put certain widgets (not just 3rd party widgets) onto my dashboard, dashboard keeps exiting out and the widget wont stay. When I mean "exiting out," i mean the equivalent of clicking off of dashboard (i.e. It's still running in the background and I can still easily get back into it.)

The result is hit or miss on what widgets will work and what ones won't. All third party apps seem to not be working, so I tried deleting them all. Currently on my dashboard I have the calculator, iCal, iTunes, Weather, and world clock widgets all running (some other ones have the capability of running, I just don't have them on the dashboard.)

I also have done a "Archive and Install" reinstallation of OSX 10.6 and I am now updated to 10.6.8. But alas, this has not helped my problem.

If needed I can provide a list of all stock widgets that will work and not work for reference upon request.


Thanks for any help possible! :)
