How can I repair/reinstall Windows Sidebar

From: Cedarhollow

To try to resolve a major problem with my computer... working with Dell technical support... my sidebar has been uninstalled or something somehow. I can download gadgets galore... but how to make the actual program of the rear side bar yet?  I really liked and had NO problem with it.  The real problem had nothing to do with the actual sidebar.

From: Daniel Martin

Reinstall Windows Vista - Windows Sidebar repair -.

Try the following steps:

Click Start, all programs, accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "Run as Administrator".

Type these commands one by one:

Regsvr32 atl.dll

Regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sbdrop.dll".

Regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\wlsrvc.dll".

  • How can I repair the windows vista 64system and I do not have the reboot disk

    I'm trying to fix my computer that has windows vista on it. He said that I need a reboot disk. Can you please help

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • How can I repair my windows script host error

    I have this error shown to me everytime I turn on my PC

    Windows Script Host

    This error was shown on my PC, probably after installing a certain software Adobe
    Help, please
    Thank you

    Hi Julian,

    Maybe the script file color.vbe tried to read/write in a valid or restricted location on your hard drive or registry. You can check with the help of Adobe to see if recently installed Adobe software is compatible with your system running Windows 7.
    For now, you can simply disable the script from loading at startup, using MSCONFIG. Run "msconfig.exe" and click on the Startup tab just uncheck the 'Adobe' entry and click OK.

  • How can I repair my installation of Windows 7? The product key is still attached to the computer.

    I had just lost my data and I want to repair my OS can I claim a copy of it... The key of the operating system I buy remained attached to the PC

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    If you had not reinstalled Vista, we helped you recover the product key of Vista for running old, Vista activated using specific programs.

    But, as you have wiped the hard and reinstall Vista, we will not help you recover the product key.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    Using recovery disks is normally not need to insert a product key.
