Sidebar calendar

[Guest]

The sidebar calendar that comes with vista basic has simply disappeared(It's
orange in color ,looks like it has a wire top, etc.) I can't locate it
anywhere, I've searched through ever gadget available& it's nowhere to be
found; any suggestions? All help would be appreciated) I assumed it would be
available on the windows vista gadget site.

Right-click on the Sidebar, choose "Properties" & tell it to "restore" the
gadgets installed with Windows.

The problem with my sidebar calendar is: its still there under my gadgets,
but when I drag it onto the sidebar from the gadgets window, it just shows an
orange screen with no dates or anything. i tried uninstalling it from the
gadgets and restoring it by right-clicking on the sidebar and going to
properties but that didnt solve it. Anyone have ideas?

I have this same problem... has anyone found a remedy?

If I try to reload it I get a run time error: "loc.month.short" is null or
not an object & it will not bebug.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Some antivirus apps stop some gadgets. Try turning that off to test.

My not sure this would apply, but if you are using some 'non-default'
setting in the Regional Settings app in Control Panel, for the date or time,
the gadget may be having trouble with that. The error mentioned in this
thread was 'loc.month...' and I think 'loc' stands for 'localization'
