Apr 15, 2009My problem is this: I am running Windows Vista 64 bit on an ASUS laptop and, after some "experimenting" with binding EXE's on XP and moving them over to Vista, I started receiving the dreaded error message "This program has failed to start because it's side by side configuration is incorrect". Now, I'm no noob when it comes to computers. But I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this problem. THe most common solution I have found is to install the Visual C++ Redistributable, thing is. When I run the installation EXE, the same error appears. I have attempted running in safe mode, system restore, and all the usual options, and every thread with this same problem is often ignored, therefore I have not been able to find a solution.

May 8, 2008A very small problem compared to some of you here but........
I think the side bar is great - nice feature BUT why does it keep
disappearing on my computer?
It is there on the desktop when I first switch on computer and then when I
open 3-4 windows and then click on the desk top icon and go back to
desktop - it has disappeared!
And yet if I minimize the windows and go back to desktop this way - there it
is!
If the window I am using is not full screen - I can see it - and yet if I
click on desk top to go back to desk top

Oct 28, 2009I am unable to install any new sidebar gadgets. The gadgets that came with Vista, (contacts, currency, weather, etc.) I can "Add Gadget" ok. When I go to "Get more gadgets online", then I have issues. When I pick a gadget, then click the download button, I get the Install and Don't Install buttons. Clicking the Install button causes a message to appear on my status bar, then nothing. I don't know what the status bar message says because it is only there less than 1 second. Nothing is downloaded to my computer and no new gadget appears in the Add Gadget list........
View 5 Replies View RelatedGadgets Can Use Extra Width
Jul 29, 2009Is it possible to change the Vista Sidebar's width or have it auto-hide? I haven't found a way to change the width, but would like to (assuming any gadgets can use the extra width. I also am interested in having the Sidebar auto-hide. I found a gadget somewhere that claimed it could add auto-hide. I was suspicious as I didn't think that Sidebar would let a mere gadget change the bar's appearance. Sidebar claimed my download was corrupt. I didn't attempt another download. Because of these issues, I looked into other sidebars, but the only one I liked that worked was Google Desktop which won't install. I have Vista 64-bit SP1 and GD requires a 32-bit OS.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSidebar: Cannot Install Gadgets
Apr 14, 2008This is my 1st post so be gentle with me. I have tried to resolve this problem on Computeractive Forums to no avail and was pointed to your community as a possible saviour. The problem is I cannot install any GADGETS at all.
- I have checked that the file associations is OK
- I've tried to directly from Windows Gallery
- I've tried to on my PC
- I've been through and carried out the suggested Register changes
- I've ensured all Windows Updates are installed
- I've checked that Norton Firewall is not blocking the program(s)
- I've un-installed all standard GADGETS & tried to install new ones
To rub salt into my wounds, when I ran the Norton360 V2 update it loaded a GADGET into the "holding window" !!! (and yes, I did then try al the above afterwards). Can anyone point me in the right direction as this problems driving me NUTS

View 4 Replies View RelatedSide Bar Out Of Control
Jun 6, 2009When I bring up a news group, it runs out of control with the sidebar running all the way to the bottom. And I can't bring it back to the top. The only way I can do this is to unplug my USB plug which controls the mouse. Once I do that I can pull the sidebar back up to the top just perfectly, by using the mouse pad on the laptop. If I plug the usb plug back in (for the mouse) the sidebar crashes to the bottom of the screen. I am using a M1710 Dell Laptop. It works great but this problem of the sidebar running out of control while the usb mouse is in use, is a new one. At the same time the screen saver won't work either.

View 4 Replies View RelatedVista Sidebar Gadgets Broken
May 28, 2008Today I started experiencing some strange problems with Vista's sidebar. I've never had this problem before and I've spent hours trying to fix the problem. Basically the problem I'm having looks something like this:
I've just dragged a few of the default gadgets to the sidebar to show you the problem I'm having. The Weather gadget seems to be the only one that is functioning correctly. I also cannot install user created gadgets from gallery.live.com.
I've already tried the many different combinations of re-registering various DLL files that I've seen around on the Internet but this hasn't made a difference. Could this be a problem with Java or XML? Is there a way of totally reinstalling the Vista Sidebar without having to a) do a System Restore or b) create a Vista installation disk to do a repair with?
Restore Gadgets Installed With Windows
Apr 16, 2009I'm not sure where else to post this, and I've searched around for it. Basically, I had to restart Vista, when it started back up it did a consistency check on the C drive. Then, once I got into Vista, one of my two notes and the clock vanished. I cannot get them back.
1)Clock does not show on Add Gadgets, but there is a Clock.Gadget in "C:Program FilesWindows SidebarGadgets"
2)Also, under the Windows Sidebar Properties
a) "Restore gadgets installed with Windows" is disabled
b) "View list of running gadgets" shows me two instances of Notes,
when only one is visible -- and I don't want to remove it because I don't want to lose the content there. How do I give the Sidebar a kick to bring it back to reality?

View 8 Replies View RelatedNo Sound In Side Speakers
Dec 27, 2007My mother board is an abit IP35 Pro. And for speakers I have Creative Inspire P7800. Coming out of the sub are all the outputs for center, sub, left & right (front, side and rear). The output cords that came with the speakers don't fully match the input for the onboard sound card. I really don't want to spend $70+ on a sound card. Seems the onboad sound is rather descent. Sound I spend the $20-30 to get the cords that are missing. Seems that cords supplied with the speakers have 4 leads coming out of the sub and then they combine something into 3 leads going into the sound card. Now when I go to mess around with the sound within windows I can't get anything to be produced out of the side speakers.

On the sidebar normally, when you move a gadget to a new location there is an animation where the other gadgets slide into place. My gadgets dont slide anymore. They snap into the new location in a single frame. Technically I don't lose any funtionality, but it is frustating since I am a fan of aesthetics.

Then when windows started I noticed that my wallpaper was the original vista wallpaper, all my sidebar gadgets were just the starting ones, and that about half my desktop shortcuts were missing. On top of that, all my documents, pictures, music, and even my bookmarks on mozilla firefox were gone!! But oddly enough when I go into C:/users/Matt everything is where it should be. But if i use the links from the start bar, it takes me to Users/Temp folder.
