  However, you can download tweaks of third party or programs that enable Windows Sidebar, which resembles the Windows Vista Sidebar in Windows XP.

  1 can't read on a Windows "upgrade version" which, in my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... updated on what you have, without disturbing programs installed... at least that's what happened the ONLY time wherever I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% guarantee that it will work with your computer in this way... search link for all the things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US

• If you have a valid Windows Vista license, why are there not support which includes downloads of the files we can need to overwrite your file should are corrupted due to a virus or malware?

  I am an unlucky recipient of a laptop with Windows Vista. It came preloaded with Vista... no backup disks or manuals, etc. The restore feature was not turned on, so a restore point has not been set. My WMP will not play wmv or any wmp files. I also have problems with my automatic updates in Windows. I have 10 updates that were not successful, but there are probably pages of the attempts of many times where the updates failed. My Trend Micro Titanium Internet tells me I have a problem in my directory root, which is probably due to an update of Windows that was supposed to protect me from a weakness in Vista, but again once with my updates failed to download successfully, its possible the fix I need is still sitting there... I think it's a shame that MicroSoft is allowed to 'SELL' a product without disk... just a license # and NO manuals. AND not a lot of support for your money... or the other. I spent hours and hours trying to fix myself... using all the resources I can find... look like a dummy, I'm sure, but if I had the software I probably would have deleted from my hard drive and more. It would certainly have saved me MONTHS of frustration. Trend Micro and real human support downloaded the plus version of their software for me and recent, plus a few extras to eradicate certain other pests. To get a human being to help you at MicroSoft? It will be $60, please... Sorry, if I look a little tired, but you guys are supposed to be the best and I feel fuzzy. I have been in sales for a long time. long time AND sold the BEST AMERICAN made cars... CADILLACS, but you know if I take care of my clients after the sale... they would have felt like I do, today... disappointed. If every time they came into the dealership I have loaded the $$ to take care of them, they don't come back to me when the NEW models came out... I made sure they got their cars back washed... and they sent their friends to buy from me. And ILS never thought to buy from anyone else, actually when I left the company, I had a nice little legacy of clients in order to let my protégé.

  Thanks (again) Darin - especially for such a detailed response.

  Hi, hope someone can help me here.  Running a Compaq Presario desktop computer.  OS is Vista Home Premium 32 bit and IE 7.  Recently I had today recconnectred with Verizon ISP but I'm having a problem.  I have my sidebar gadgets.  They are both an RSS feed and the weather gadget in the bug.  I deleted them and re added to them and that do not resolve the problem. Oh, I've had better describe the problem!  The RSS gadget does not show the correct update it shows may 17 no 05/06/09 and the time bug gadget does not allow me to define my position, she just a circle with lines circling around it.  They worked until I disconnected.  Can someone tell me in simple steps how to get gadgets to work and be up to date again?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance

• How can I remove updates for Windows Vista? Duplicates are KB976325, KB973917, KB974318. The system still wants to install updates and just duplicates on again once. First update list has 20, second and third about 18.

  Duplication did not begin until I tried to load the list of updates.  Continues to tell me the same updates are available and download them if allowed.  Only the update that has been update group above that does not DOWNLOAD is Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista, which I am downloading now. When I go to 'historic day' to remove duplicates as indicated in the instructions for help. duplicates above are not listed. Of the; folding situation is on a Gateway laptop.  I am writing this issue on my Gateway PC.

  LiveUpdate install updates for your Symantec/Norton application only.

  Don't worry what you see in the installed updates or unable to uninstall the 3 updates, simply 'hide' and move.

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
  (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
  Open the download folder and delete its content
  Close the window.

  3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update |  View the updates available (or Select the updates installed): right-click on KB976325 KB973917 and KB974318, in turn. Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

  4. start the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click Start
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  =====================================
  To restore/show updates for Vista: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.

• 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.

  Recently the weather gadget for windows sidebar did not work at all. It keeps saying "Service unavailable". As I am posting this now, I clearly have internet connection. I tried all the advice given by experts on the subject a user displayed on its own problems with the gadget and none have worked. I even tried to download a different Weatherbug weather gadget and this one does not work either! Why is the weather windows gadget refuses to work? Is there a problem with it? Thank you!

  Hello

  Eventually the gadgets all access similar sources for their information. Have you tried to load another

  for the net?

• 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.

• Windows 7 recovery disks are corrupt

  Let me start by saying, the advice of HP have no help and I take the blame at their feet.  Hard drive of my laptop HP G71 is eventually died.  When I bought the laptop, it came installed with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.  I followed the instructions during the installation and created a set of recovery disks.  I was only allowed to make ONE set.  I backed up my data religiously.  When the hard drive is dead, I bought a new used my recovery disks in the Recovery Manager about 30 times.  Each disc would go for about 20 minutes, and then I would ask for the next record.  In the end, remove screen said all the disks and reboot to the recovery to continue the restoration of the system.  After the restart, message "no boot device", then reinserted first recovery disc and it began all over again.  The people of HP forum said my a set of disks has been altered.  Now I ask people, how to get back my FULL windows 7?  I guess all computers with pre-installed software should come with the drives, but they are no longer.  Furthermore, I'll send this to my G71 using a repair/reinstall dvd that I bought on ebay.  Repair/reinstallation asked my microsoft product key that I got off the sticker on the bottom of my G71 and repair/reinstall it over.  It has worked very well, but it is a watered-down version of Home premium extremely rich, that I used to have, and more this morning for the first time, I received a message that says "the key to Windows 7 Home Premium is not valid for activation".  I want to just my old windows 7 back.

• KB975051 updates and KB976882 will not install on Windows Vista. They are Office and Outlook 2003. Anyone else having the same problem?

  Tried several times.  Windows Update keeps prompting me to install but it fails every time.

  I was finally able to solve the problem of not being able to update KB975051 and KB976882 by taking the following measures:
  In Google I typed in 'the kb976882 will not be installed.  Under options, I got "Download Details: update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Junk...» "the site of Microsoft.com/downloads.  I downloaded from this site and then also picked KB975051 on other popular choice located lower on the page and done the same thing.  I don't remember this solution being a few days ago.
  I hope you find that this approach works for you as well.  Ignore the entrance of miss under my name as proposed in another comment response.  I have missunderstood as a way to comment on...
