Using Gadgets in Windows 7. Is it safe?

Hi,
I have experinced that, after I used a desktop gadget to hibernet the laptop, it didn't boot properly next time when I switched on the laptop. Is it safe to use such gadget from third party? Normally I was closing the Lid to hibernet the laptop automativcally as per the setup in power options and never faced boot problem. Any one faced the same issue? Just I want to confirm if its so happened that laptop hangs for different reason or due to the use of the third party gadget!!

Regards

Windows is what does the Hibernation and Sleeping. The third party applications simply trigger the process. I highly doubt that the third party application was the problem.

Thank you c_c. You are right. But as I have suffered a lot fixing the issue so I try not using such gadget. In case oter also find any issue please let me know.

Thanks
