Windows Sidebar problems since the installation of Vista Service Pack 2

I installed Vista Service Pack 2 today. After the installation of the windows sidebar has stopped working. For example the actions of Gadget, Gadget of the currency, in fact all of the gadgets that require a live stream display the message "Service unavailable". Some gadgets loading is no longer at the side bar, double click on, for example Weatherbug & multimeter (D).  I tried a system restore, but the problem remains, so I did an extra restore to indeed to reinstall Vista Service Pack. I also reset the router and Modem

I tried to remove the gadgets from the sidebar and load it again but the problem still remains.  So I decided to download gadgets again on the Microsoft site but when I click on the link in the window "Get more Gadgets online" link does not work. This problem is only since installing Vista Service Pack 2 any what help you can give me to eliminate these problems would be most appreciated

Tony,
Have you checked your firewall to see if the file sidebar.exe is allowed?  When you have downloaded the update it probably resets the security settings for this program if your firewall blocks most likely it.  First try.

Have you double checked the control panel for the side bar to ensure that it was activated?  Again, the setting could have been modified by the service pack.
Try this, it includes a section "fix it for me":

  • The installation of Vista Service Pack 2 failed

    I had been facing a blue screen often enough lately when I downloaded the SP2. Windows has responded by "Windows can check the bluescreen the next time u log" but he wouldn't do anything.

    After downloading steps 1 and 2 were full. Step 3 0% would come the blue screen and the system will re-start. After that restart againit seems to 0%. So I chose, at the next restart, Mode without failure. Stage 3 took about an hour to reach 100%.

    And then he said that SP2 has been installed. Windows come back back change.

    Now, everything's fine. no problem at all. the system is normal.
    Only problem is that I don't get the option to install SP2 again.
    View these latest updates, he said SP2 failed.

    And I fear the same blue screen appear again if I somehow managed to get their hands on SP2.

    Aid to the blue screen and retrieve SP2.

    Hi Multiloop,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
    I recommend you to perform a restore of the system to a point prior to the installation of SP2.

    * [Make sure that all security software (anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, etc.) are temporarelly disabled].
    To access the system restore, click Start and type restore, and then click Restore system from the results.

  • Problems printing MS programs after the installation of Vista Service Pack 2

    After installation of SP2, I can print is more than MS Word. I can print from the web, but when I send something to print from MS Word, it seems to go to the printer, but nothing happens. The printer icon shows in the task bar at the bottom of the screen but no document is displayed as pending and nothing prints. I tried the suggestions I've seen on this forum including to perform a clean boot and run the System File Checker. To solve the problem. I do a lot of printing of the word, so it is a major issue for me. I can't keep running at the public library to print my documents! Aaaaargh.

    You tried the simple expedient of detection/repair or Office Diagnostics, depending on your version of Word.
    Check with the manufacturer of your printer that does not have a printer available update driver?

  • Some files have been moved and are inaccessible after installation of Vista Service Pack 2

    For several months, I had been unable to install the latest updates of iTunes, always get the message "Could not access network location %AppData%". Recently, I realized that I had apparently never installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 or 2 and the practice which finally allowed me to install iTunes 9.2.

    The problem I have now is that one (or two) of these Service Packs created a new profile user labelled 'TEMP' folder and that's where all my iPod apps seem to have "evaporated" to. I say evaporated because iTunes cannot locate, and when I access the folder of the user 'TEMP' (even using my administrator account), I found only a few subfolders (AppData (, LocalLow, Microsoft, CryptnetUrlCache), and those are all empty.  Either way, my administrator user account no longer shows upward at all when I use my 'normal' user code

    Making windows for .ipa files search is the only way I can see same registrants, but then when I try to open the location of file (Mobile Applications C:Users\TEMP\Music\iTunes) I get an error "the location is not available", which suggests that the information may have been moved to another location.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, Service Pack 2.

    Hello!

    I installed Windows Vista on my Toshiba p100-102 (A3E) but I had a 'small' problem. In each 3D app, I had a lot of shifts and slowdowns. I think it's a problem with the graphics card and I think the grapics card fan works slow since installing vista. Thus it reduces the mhz for a few moments (1 minute at) (I think, I'm not shure)

    so... anyone have any idea what I can do? Maybe should I use an alternativ graphics driver?

  • How can I uninstall Firefox as PC has had problems since the Installation

    I installed Firefox on January 7, 2014 and have had problems since with PC windows 7pro. The PC is slow and a few minor problems. I tried to uninstall Firefox several times but without success. The problems may not be because of Firefox but why can't uninstall the program.

    Please notify. Thank you

    Jim cordially

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.
