What are gadget.xml Error Messages?


General gadget.xml Runtime Errors

gadget.xml file errors often occur during the startup phase of Windows, but can also occur while the program is running. These types XML errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Windows is running. Here are some of the most common gadget.xml runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\RSSFeeds.Gadget\en-US\gadget.xml

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most XML errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your gadget.xml file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Windows), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, gadget.xml file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Windows, system crash while loading or saving gadget.xml, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".

Download gadget.xml Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying gadget.xml to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows XML files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing gadget.xml and all other XML files for Windows. An incorrectly installed XML file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
