Here's a bug fix for the Battery Information gadget. It doesn't refresh its display on reboot, so it opens up blank.
Go to the folder C:\Users\[your login]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\Battery.Gadget\Include.
Right click to edit (not open) the battery.js file
Change the Initialize() function so that it reads like this:
function Initialize()
{
// Apply appropriate style at reboot
if (System.Gadget.docked)
AppyDockedStyle();
else
ApplyUndockedStyle();
System.Machine.PowerStatus.powerLineStatusChanged = Refresh;
...
Note that the 'Appy' mispelling is intentional; that is the actual function name.

If there's one program in Vista that should be absolutely bomb-proof and bug-free, it's Windows Error Reporting. This catches unhandled exceptions from any other program and sends an error report to Microsoft. But I get this:

WerFault.exe is locked up; I have to kill the process to get rid of the window.
I suspect IE7 and/or Windows Media Player - an error report would help me figure it out...
