Gadget that will not work in 32 bit or 64 bit mode on windows 7 64 bit

Hi, I hope this is a good place to post this. No one has ever been able to figure this one out for me. Maybe someone here can. I have a desktop gadget that works fine on Windows 7 32 bit OS, but will not work on a Windows 7 64 bit OS. I have tried running the 32 bit sidebar service (as administrator), but it will not work in either 64 or 32. I hope somebody can help.
