Sidebar Gadgets corrupted and is no longer functional

I have Windows Vista and I had a virus (yesterday 11/27/2010) cleaned up my computer.  Now my sidebar gadgets are no longer works. My clock is a black circle and the rest are little white helpful (I had notes post-it with important information on them).

The following did NOT work.

I typed in the command line;
Regsvr32 atl.dll
Regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sbdrop.dll".
Regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\wlsrvc.dll".
It did NOT work.

Then I tried "Fix - it" - which did not work.
 
Then I typed in the command prompt.
SFC \scannow - and got the following response.
"Windows resource protection found currupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are provided in convertible bonds. Connect to windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. »
 
I have followed this path and CBS.log wasn't there.
In the sidebar properties, maintenance, my post-it is still running.
 
Now what should I do?  Help!
 
PS. I'm good at following directions but I have NO IDEA as to what I'm doing.
Thank you in advance for help.

  • Sidebar Gadgets "Widgets" gets not WMI information?

    I used Sidebar on XP Home SP3 machine for a few months.  I had pieces of an old installation of Norton Systemworks running on the machine that has not been deleted in the normal uninstall process.  I recently could finally remove the persistent parties.  But after doing so part of the Sidebar gadgets 'widgets' for HD discs, wired network traffic, etc., no longer work.  Some now display a message, "No. WMI information for readers", etc.  Even the entries in some gadgets settings are not saved after the entry.  I see nothing in WMI that indicates I'm not provide the access/information necessary for these applications of gadget.  Can someone tell me what I could do to restore this exchange of information on my system?

    Many people, I gave up.  I pulled a bought Windows 7.  Let me warn you that you will not be able to quickly see all the information and the activity happening on your computer as you would with XP.  But I guess I'm going to get used to it as I have more restrictions on execution of gadgets and other problems I had.

    Most expensive solution that I was hoping but maybe I will be chugging along for awhile now, with little, or problem now.  I find a lot of things with Windows 7 you need to do yourself.  Say not as many ways for him to do something and make it happen.  Oh, well, good luck for the rest of you who are hooked up with XP.

  • Creating Installation Inoperable cloud left after update - relocation results in "this facility is no longer functional."

    Hello
    I tried to update my copy of the creative cloud for a demonstration of Adobe Lightroom a few hours ago. When I did this, Creative Cloud started to be updated, but stopped at half way through. At this point, I could no longer charge creative cloud.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall, which led the creative cloud in another installation corrupted. This time, creative cloud would crash at startup, whenever he was executed.

    I uninstalled again and has attempted to use the cleanser for Adobe tool, choose option 6 - Creative cloud appeared in the list and the tool said that it removed successfully.

    After that, I tried to reinstall it again. This time, CC loaded up, but gives me an error on the apps tab, saying: "this installation is no longer functional. Uninstall and download cloud creative from (Adobe link here). "I tried to do exactly cela, but received this same error every time.

    I then tried to do a system restore (I use Windows 7) at a time before CC tried to update. Installation acted as it did after the update - it wouldn't load up.

    I tried to use the Adobe cleanup tool after uninstalling of another time, always choose option 6, but now creative cloud will not appear on the list of options.

    Finally, I tried the steps described here (Re: this facility is no longer functional.) -This resulted in an always-crashing-at-start installation again.

    Any other suggestions to get creative work Cloud?

  • Common cold called the India telling me that my computer is corrupt and needs attention at a cost. The call of this morning came from 02533639006.

    Please could someone tell me if the calls of the India telling me this computer is corrupt and needs attention to the cost are to be considered as a suspect.

    This morning, my husband took one of the many calls from a company whose name can never be clearly understood.  Call came this morning from the above mentioned phone no.  It was a particularly tough call, insisting that they knew there was corruption on my system and when my husband asked for the source of this information and how they would take care and at what cost, the appellant insisted to know the age of my husband.  When he asked the appellant to bring the problems that he was speaking in an e-mail that he rang off the coast.

    As has happened so often before, could someone please let me know what steps I should take to ensure that all information on the State of operation of my computer is genuine and comes from a reliable source.  My husband and I are retired and is concerned by the number of calls we receive from this type.  We had an audit by computer not so long ago and everything was there at that time.  Despite the running is a little slow, I don't have serious problems that I know.  I learned to be patient when waiting for the computer to operate as required.

    I look forward to hear from you in due course.

    Thank you very much.

    It's FAKE and SCAM, because of course, you could report it to the Ministry in charge of fraud in your country.
