Re: Windows Sidebar - Gadget Not Displayed Correctly

The Windows Sidebar is part of Vista, so you cannot uninstall and reinstall just the sidebar. It would have to be for Vista instead. If it system restore does not help, then you can see if you may be able to do a repair install instead.

Re: Windows Sidebar - Gadget Not Displayed Correctly

Nudin,

A factory restore will format your Vista partition and restore Vista back like the day you first turned on your computer. It will wipe out any software and files that you have installed since then, so you will need to reinstall any programs that were not originally on your computer. You should also backup any files that you do not want to lose as well.

If you can post back what brand your computer is, I'll post instructions from their website on how to do the factory restore.

Nudin,

Page 45 in your manual can help show you how to. It seems it will only wipe out the partition that you select to install Vista to.
