If its anything like XCenter, then its a "built in widget" that is defined by it's class and is in the "built in" DLL's. So I think what you have done is somehow either corrupted or deleted the internal 'Widget class'. If you have something like a "eCenter Properties" menu you can get by right clicking on an empty space in the eCenter, have a look in there. It should have a 'Classes' tab, and under the built-in section it should have something like "eCSButton" listed. In the same menu also click on "Widgets" and it should be the first widget listed as XButton or eCSButton, with a wiget setup value of 'MENUITEMS=1C;" or some such. I could be totally wrong here and eCenter might have no relation to XCenter.

Actually, it's probably quicker to wipe and re-install the system as I've now got problems with Firefox and flash, so it's going to be quicker to wipr and re-install - this is on my EeePC701 Netbook, so to wipr, re-install and set everything up is going to take less than an hour. -- Cheers/2 Ed Checkout my new (WIP) eComStation Australia Podcast - search for eComStation at iTunes or Podcastblaster dot com or add the RSS feed http://feeds2.feedburner dot com/eComStationAustralia to Thunderbird.
