In Help and Support on the Start Menu, type Sidebar, click Windows Sidebar Frequently Asked Questions, click How Do I open Sidebar, click, "click to open Windows Sidebar." If that fails to resolve it, try using System Restore to take your system back to a time prior to when this began. While System Restore is meant to only restore settings and the registry, you should, nonetheless have your data backed up. Start Menu\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore. -- Michael Solomon Backup is a PC user's best friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ |

| | Re: Can I download Sidebar anywhere? Well, tried a restore, with no luck. Still haven't gotten it to work. I'm pretty sure a fresh install will do it.
