Can't get any of my Widgets working or loaded. Once I am in Dashboard I drag a widget up and it expands and then disappears. This happens will all of them including the Apple supplied ones and the Apple dashboard control widget as well.
The screens darkens as normal but none of the widgets appear. The widgets dock is available, but clicking on a widget or dragging causes the Dashboard to quit, and the desktop is back as normal.
I've run Disk Doctor, cleaned caches, toggled Dashboard in System preferences, Nothing worked.
Any ideas or solutions?

Yes. They work fine in another non-admin user account.
Any ideas?

Or try removing the two files with dashboard in their names from the folder ~/Library/Preferences/. Just move them out to the Desktop and log out/in, then try and see. (You can always move them back, if something stopped working.)
(~ refers to your home folder)

Hmm. Well, if worse comes to worse you can just migrate your files to a new account.

Didn't work. There must be something deeper involved. But, I'm not alone....
Dashboard Widgets failing to load - The macosxhints Forums
Maybe 10.5.2 will solve it.
