Re: Windows Sidebar will not Start in Vista

PonuryUser,

You can open the Start menu and right click on the Computer button, on the dark right side, and click Properties. You will see if you have the 32 bit or 64 bit version under the Sytem section to be sure.

It's ok if you typed the 64 bit only part in by mistake. That part will just not do anything on a 32 bit Vista. That's all.

Hi PonuryUser,

That's ok. This works on both the 32 bit and 64 bit Vista versions. Towards the upper right corner of every tutorial you will see a Applies to box that will let you know what versions of Vista it will work for.

Your welcome DippyDawg, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I''m glad to hear that you have it working again. Step Two unregisters and then re-registers the .dll files responsible for running Windows Sidebar. It basically resets them.

Re: Windows Sidebar will not Start in Vista

Hi Azrk7,

You might need try uninstalling and reinstalling those gadgets to see of that will allow them to run properly. If not, then turn Windows Sidebar off and try Step Two in this tutorial to see if it can help.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Azrk7,

Were you able to fix it? Step Two in this tutorial is listed in other sites as a fix for this problem also.
