Vista - Gadget Sidebar Problem

The message " Windows Sidebar has stopped working" happens frequently when I
reach the desktop in VISTA. Checking online brings no results, so I have to
close the program.

Does anyone have a solution to the problem?

Thanks

This sounds that you have a gadget added that crashes the sidebar.

Close all none default Vista gadgets and check if you get this error again.
If the error disappears, add all none default vista gadgets one by one until
you find the faulting gadget. Then contact the gadget author (can be seen in
"show details") and asked for an updated version if existing.
