    I think this is the link for the Multi Meter. And here's the one for the battery meter.

    Edit: The clock is just one of the included skins for the Windows clock gadget.

    The third from the bottom is called "Top Processes" (don't have the link at hand). Anyone know what the botom and second from the bottom are? The second from the bottom appears to be a bandwidth meter.

    It should automatically install after you click the installer. Right click on the sidebar tray icon and select add gadgets. The installed gadget should be among the list of gadgets.

    When I go to install it says "not valid gadget packet" ?? I downloaded it from Windows live site.

    It's the one called Package Mapping.
