Ok a long time ago I posted about repairing my Sidebar in Vista, that was
messed up when I uninstalled a program and it uninstalled an old version of
java. My system restore didnt go back far enough and all everyone else had
to offer was make sure I had the latest version of Java.
I tried a bunch of stuff on my own and nothing worked and made it a little
worse. Well I deleted everything in the folder. Then I browsed into the
Install.wim on the Vista DVD and restored the C:\Program Files\Windows
Sidebar folder. Now I am back to the original problem - When I run the
sidebar.exe (whether from shortcut or running the .exe or running it as
admin), it does nothing. It doesnt give any error boxes or show up in the
process list or anything.
So I ran Process Monitor (I love sysinternals) and captured all the data
created when I attempt to start Sidebar. I tried to attach the data in a CSV
file or put it in txt format in this post but it wouldnt let me post it. Can
someone help me check out the data and see if they can tell why it isnt
running?
Thank you in advance for any help.
