| | Administrator Privileges - Catch 22 - AARGH! I am trying to get the sidebar to work (I've never used Vista before). When I try to activate the Sidebar, I am told that "Windows Sidebar is managed by the System Administrator". But I AM THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR! Indeed, I haven't installed any other accounts on the system, as I'm the only user. What kind of mainframe stalinist system is this???? Anybody who can help me please. |

THANKS - SECOND PIECE OF ADVICE WAS AN INSTANT FIX. Your time much appreciated, the Sidebar now works beautifully, and I love (in a way) Vista again. |
