Since I installed Vista sevice pack 1 on my laptop the side bar is opaque and
I can't see how to make it transparent a like it was before I installed
service pack 1. Any suugestions?

video driver was current .
I contacted free chat-line support for Vista SP1 problems and gave them
access to my computer. Seems the problem was that Vista SPI instalation
apparently deselected Windows Aero in Control Panel>Personalization>Window
Color and Appearance>classic appearance properties.
