Question of destination.msi Windows Vista Sidebar
When I try to start Windows Sidebar, I get a windows pop up, the search for file destination.msi.
How can I fix it?
Okay, it looks like this problem occurs from time to time. But you can try the following:
First, you must open the command prompt, but with right click "run as Administrator".
Then navigate with the command CD to the following folder: C:\progam Windows sidebar.
OK, now you would type the following:
1. regsvr32 sbdrop.dll u (after each order approve with the button ENTER)
2 regsvr32 u wlsrvc.dll
3 regsvr32 atl.dll
4 regsvr32 sbdrop.dll
5 regsvr32 wlsrvc.dll
Done, your sidebar should work again.

Microsoft, as I know, Sidebar available on codename Windows 6.0 or higher, but why is Vista Sidebar available, not only for Windows 6.0 code name, but for XP? Thank U!
Hello
Microsoft provides the functionality of the Windows Sidebar in Windows Vista, this feature is not included in Windows XP.
However, you can download tweaks of third party or programs that enable Windows Sidebar, which resembles the Windows Vista Sidebar in Windows XP.
Note:
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Windows Vista product key Dublicate
Therefore, a quick question. I installed Windows Vista on another laptop years ago. The hard drive and laptop have been terminated and destroyed. There is therefore no chance that the OS is still there. I needed an OS for my computer, and didn't have that copy of Vista, so I installed, thought it would be perfect. After all, only one copy is in use at any time. It won't let me activate. Am I violating the terms of Service, or is there a solution? Also, I always will be able to use the operating system if I can't activate.
Thank you
Hello
If the computer/laptop comes with the system of operating Windows preinstalled (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed OEM System Builders, this product key provided with your computer/laptop to the OEM license preinstalled and is not transferable.
OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.
Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.
And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the transfer above a retail license.

New Driver for MFC-4800 for Window Vista 64-bit?
Hello
How can I get my printer Brother mfc 4800 to print using Windows Vista 64-bit. The printer is connected by usb cable and the machine is recognized by the computer. It appears in Control Panel > printer folder. When I choose printer and each attempt a test page or print a document the printer "ramps" upward as it wants to print but nothing prints ever. This printer is connected to a computer, that I just replaced that had XP as an operating system. Printer drivers claim to be "integrated" in Vista. I call brother and they say he works at their end, there is something missing on the microsoft side. If you the new driver or support can you pls send.I hope someone can help. Thank you.
Got
Above is the link for your model printer MFC 4800 drivers.
If you click on drivers in STEP 1, then STEP 2, check for the operating system, you will see that Vista is not an option, and so the Vista drivers were never written for this model of printer by brother.
They rely on drivers XP to do the work for them.
Brother is the one who wrote the drivers for its hardware, not Microsoft.
I suggest that revisit you brother and ask them when they wrote the so-called Vista compatible drivers for Microsoft.
It's all brother wrote for your model:
