Sidebar Error

[Guest]

Vista crashed during Microsoft Office install, after the reboot, get an error
message "Sidebar failed to start, Windows is checking the problem, Send error
report, Close, etc.". I can't get it to fire up again. Any suggestions or
should I re-install?

Open Taskmanager (right click Taskbar > click Task Manager) > check under
the processes tab to see if the Sidebar is still runing. If so, right click
the process and click "End Process". Restart the system, open Control Panel

double click Sidebar.

I also have a weird problem with the sidebar.

After I installed the Vista Business edition on 5 computers, everything
worked fine including the sidebar and I can add gadgets.
But after a few restarts the sidebar stopped working and it did not give an
error and is not running in Task Manager.

If you try and restart the sidebar, nothing happens and no error comes up.
If you try and install a new gadget now it says "Unspecified Error" and
nothing happens afterwards.

Any advise?
