Recent Post Widget

Hi

I am having a slight problem with the standard recent post widget in wordpress. When i put this widget in the sidebar it displays the recent posts but when you click on one of the posts it takes you to one of the wordpress pages (always the same page) and not to that post.

any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

P.S. apologies if a fix has been posted for this problem. i used the search tool but didn’t find anything to help me.
