Sidebar just disappeared

[ashley]

New computer, new Vista for 2 days...... I turned the computer on and sidebar
is gone. It just seems to have fanished. It won't open from start/all
programs/accessories/sidebar/open or any other method. Any suggestions as to
where it went and how to get it back? I'm the admisinstrator and have not
changed settings. Thanks in advance.

Click Start, type "sidebar.exe" and Press ENTER.

If Sidebar does not launch, then you need to register a couple of modules for the Sidebar to work correctly. See:
