Re: Sidebar Lockup

I'd start by removing all the widgets from the sidebar and see if it keeps
locking up. If it does not, then add them back one at a time and test each
one to see which one causes the problem.

Re: Sidebar Lockup

Thanks Richard. Tried that. No luck. With no gadgets installed the machine
still locks up when put into sleep mode.

Re: Sidebar Lockup

Have you checked for updated video drivers? If it happens when only the
toolbar is loaded I'd be suspicious that it's a video driver problem.
