Vista Ultimate 64 bit - SP2-problem with Sidebar - gadgets comes in random order

Hello
I just installed SP2 on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit - system. Everything seems to work ok, but I soon discovered a very annoying problem. The order chosen for my gadgets in the sidebar is destroyed each time I close the OS or just close sidebar and reopen again.

I tried to use the 32 - bit sidebar.exe rather version (located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe) and this version observe the correct order, but the 64-bit version (located in C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe) destroy the order of gadgets.

I have looked for a solution, but have not been able to find. But I discovered, that there is a general problem for all users of Vista 64 bit and a lot of people are very unhappy with this new pproblem caused by SP2. I hope that he will be made a fix for this problem that is boring as soon as POSSIBLE. A chronology of a solution?

Cordially Teddy

No solution for it yet, according to me, just use the x 86 version of the sidebar for now.

    Amazing!  I have already mentioned that I lived the problem of the "feature Windows empty window.  Seeing that my initially reported problem and seemed to have similar signs and given that I had a clear explanation on how to solve this problem, I did it - and these two problems are now history.

    In the two following links, you will find the description and method to solve the problem of the 'empty Windows feature window' and (b) a method for appropriating errant registry entries.

    Ranging from a 32-bit operating system 64-bit operating system is NOT a upgrade path.

    It must do a clean install with a full version of a Vista 64 bit operating system.

  • Sidebar gadgets are in random order each time I restart the application from the sidebar or I restart the computer.

    For some reason, whenever I restart the computer or I close the application of the sidebar and re - open in the start menu, my gadgets are in random order.

    I saw another thread for this on Microsoft Answers Social, but his problem was just after installation of SP2. I had SP2 for a long time and recently began to experience this.

    A moderator of Microsoft support proposed making sure that Java and Flash have been fully installed and implemented to date. I have both.

    However, due to a recent achievement in the platform of Adobe Flash (the one that allows the remote control, discovered last week), Adobe has proposed the Flash upgrade to the release candidate 7 (10.1) version. What I did. Could that be the cause? Hope not. If this is the case, then I will be happy to downshift until a solution has been found. However, the Java platform is perfectly updated and operational. And it's the 6.20 version, which is the latest public version.

    Well, I reformatted my hard drive and all restore factory settings.

    Everything worked fine... Until I installed again my Adobe CS5 Master Collection.

    So I started uninstalling the components one by one to see what worked...

    It turns out that Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (or rather the 64-bit extension him) makes the sidebar go haywire.

    Uninstalled Acrobat 9 and no problems yet. Restarted several times to make sure.

    I hope that one day I'll find an update to Acrobat who sets. Maybe I'll go post in the Adobe forums for that one.

    Whatever it is, no biggie for me - I barely use Acrobat.

  • Windows Installer has stopped working on Vista Ultimate 64 - bit SP2

    Hello

    My Windows Installer has stopped working all of a sudden (probably common last week).  I get no error message at all.  It simply doesn't get it.  The programs can be installed and uninstalled by there own systems updated, but the changes are not reflected in "programs and features".  When I ask Windows Installer to run under programs and features, I get the usual verification pop-ups, but once I click on the last approval, nothing happens.

    I tried to install a new Windows Installer from the Microsoft Download site and each time, the program "check updates" and I get an error message that says "this update does not apply to your version," (to paraphrase).  I tried to install Windows 6.0, v-2, x 64, but when it does not work I tried all (LOL) with the same result.

    At first I thought that my computer can was struck by a malicious code, so I ran MSE, remove malicious software (FULL) Windows for January and Advanced System Care 3.  All scans is come-up 100% clean!

    I tried to restore my computer to a point 3 days does not.  As Murphy's law would have, I disabled the restore before January 12 points.

    Windows Update online might work.  I get notifications for optional updates for MSE and AFAIK, they are applied.

    Edit: One more important thing, the uninstall on Advanced System Care 3 feature does more either.  It's almost like the hooks to the installer of Windows have been removed to that also.

    Installation service seems to be very well and the value 'manual '.

    Any thoughts on the subject?  I can reload Windows from "day 1", but would rather not.  Laughing out loud.  I have my drive so.  :-)

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Problems with the Visa Business for Vista Ultimate 64-bit upgrade

    I have been a loyal customer of ThinkPad T for 10 years. I just got my new T500. In my efforts to save money and wanting to be the best that I bought a 2089-2KU with 2 GIG RAM, Vista Business and a core 9400 processor duo, and then I started immediately at this level to 4 GIG of RAM and Vista Ultimate 64 bit. This has not been fun and my upgrade does not work as I had hoped for. Miss me a lot of drivers after downloading everything on the sites of Lenovo, Microsoft and Intel.

    Is there anyone in the community who can give me some constructive advice outside of spending $500 at a sum of $1,000 on a support, or telling me to clear the machine and buy a new one set up correctly by Lenovo in the factory?

    The easy way to upgrade is to use the Vista Business 64 recovery disks. Like you bought Vista Business 32 Microsoft license is also valid for Vista Business 64. Unfortunately Lenovo support don't honor the Microsoft licensing system and refuse to embark a recovery disc Vista 64 for you if your system came with Vista 32.

    But if you google on thinkpad recovery disks, you'll find U.S. resellers of spare parts online who are willing to sell you the Vista Business 64 recovery discs you need.

  • 26 of Firefox crashes out of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

    No matter if I click on the red X, go to file-> exit or press Alt + F4 to exit Firefox under Windows Vista Ultimate 32 - bit. It almost always produces an error message that Firefox has stopped working.

    I can't find how to post a JPEG Screenshot of the error here.

    This will not occur under Windows XP Pro.

    Otherwise, the browser works fine in a BONE.

    Those are the two reports of the crash on Adobe Flash Player.

    You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

    • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
    • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
    • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

    Hello

    I recently had a few frequent freezes on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition, I think it's maybe the video card (ATI HD2600 mobility). I have already downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Toshiba site, but it continues to, sometimes, when I'm playing games, the screen blinks for 5 seconds or more and then would become black, completely erased, but the background sound and everything still works well and I am able to shut down the PC by pressing the power button once and then restart it normally.

    It's a minor problem, the major problem is the freezing point, it freezes completely without warning, but oddly enough, he freeze by practicing a game! But freezes on normal operations (internet, office, etc.). I did the tests, tests of HARD drive memory, all in good health, and worse, on the Windows Event Viewer could not detect any problem, simply says 'unexpected system shutdown.

    I'd appreciate help please.

    Thank you

    Hi I do not know if this will help, but you've got service pack 1 installed on your laptop, as when I installed it on my desktop the first time it caused blue screen errors and gave me a lot of problems, including the error messages that seemed to come with applications, I opened and a boring IQRL driver equal or less than but could not work why and then ultimately , I had so many problems that I had to completely reformat my office and I removed my scanner XP and webcam (both had vista drivers) and when I reinstalled service pack 1, it was beautiful, if by any chance do you have anything attached to your XP laptop and vista drivers as these seemed to be what was causing my errors.

    Also a question about your graphic card drivers, I have the same laptop as you and was looking for updates to the graphics driver and couldn't find them anywhere on the site, where did you find yours? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit, my model number is A200-28 p (PSAE6) and I would like to know if there is a new graphics card driver but can not find on the basis of knowledge, so the fact you have updated your would be could you point a new user in the right direction :-)

  • Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

    The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
    The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.

    I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
    Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

    Hi Hal K,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

    If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.
