Power Gadgets Loosing Connection To Data Source - Exclaimation point

[powergadget]

I am running Power Gadgets on 2 machines. The machines pull their powershell scripts from a shared folder on a file server. Multiple times during the day, the gadgets stop working and the little icon with the 3 disks and the exclaimation point in the red triangle come up on all of the gadgets. Now, sometimes this only happens on 1 computer at a time.

When I restart the gadgets, they work fine.

 

How can I get the gadgets to run without having to restart them....

 

Thanks!

Do you get a message box when clicking on the error icon?

Can you expand on how often these gadgets are refreshed and how often you get the error?

I think I resolved the problem. What was happening was that each widget refreshes itself every 5-15 seconds. Each refresh operation calls the original script used to launch it. In that script, I had a line that looked like this:

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

$env:PATH=$env:PATH + ";\\itllcsbs\Data\ConnectSmartScripts"

 

So I was able to click on one of the widgets while it was in the
