XL-DJK Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Hi guys, I just want to start with saying:****! Nice project!However, I have some badnews to announce I'm experiencing.I installed it 2 weeks ago, and the iweather/weather gadget doesn't update! LOLaccording to Weather.....my city's been 8 celsius for 2 weeks straight now.I've also noticed a lag in performance especially when running games...the games I play stutter every 3/4 seconds when it's running.Just a head up on it......but great stuff guys, nonetheless!
CBC888 Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 I installed it 2 weeks ago, and the iweather/weather gadget doesn't update! LOLaccording to Weather.....my city's been 8 celsius for 2 weeks straight now.I had the same problem with the default weather/iweather gadgets. There are other weather gadgets that I tried but they had their shortcomings as well, until I found...The Weather Network's WeatherEye Gadget for Microsoft Windows Vista Sidebar (http://www.theweathernetwork.com/inter/wea...istaweathereye/)The Weather Network is Canadian-based, which is perfect for people like you and me who live in Canada! I have found this gadget to be very accurate - it updates once or twice each hour, from what I can tell.Give it a try!
XL-DJK Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 AWESOME! SWEET! but I don't like how large it is though...think I'm gonna Modd it so it's not so huge! LOL, you rock man, awesome! eh?
nick60809 Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 I try,CAN NOT! (Before I install Windows Vista 5744 Sidebar)My system:Windows XP Pro SP2System language:Traditional ChineseI install VAIOXP, Font, KB918997, Microsoft Core XML Services 6.0.Then I install Sidebar.Install finish I run it, have not reaction...
ricktendo Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 Give me more info... Do you get an error? what does it say? did you install VAIO, IE7, WMP11 and WLan Hotfix?
WhoAmI5423 Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Any word on VAIO build 3 will come out and correct the slideshow bug? It's driving me crazy! Any work-arounds or replacement gadgets that do work on the sidebar dock itself?Otherwise, good job on the XP port! Took me awhile to get everything that I needed to support it but once I got it up and running it works pretty good! So far, I've only run into one gadget from the gallery that doesn't work.
nick60809 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I installed VAIOXP, IE7 ,WMP11 ,WLan Hotfix ,MSXML 6.0 Parser.It doesn't say any error.Because Windows Vista 5744 Sidebar I installed:C++ and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0Because this two?

WhoAmI5423 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Hey thanks for the update! I just installed it and it works great!
yadzil Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Sorry Rick, I now knew what to do. Thanks Rickopps wrong topic
Qrexin Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 I get the "This application attempted to delay-load a library function that does not exist. Instability may occur" error with any wireless gadget I add to the sidebar. I have hotfix kb918997 installed and it does appear under add/remove programs, along with IE7 and MSXML parser 6This error also only comes up when the wireless connection is "connected" If the card is enabled but not yet connected to an access point I can add wireless gadgets without any problem. As soon as the card connects and the gadget starts to monitor the connection the error above appears.I have tried everything I can think of including uninstalling sp2, reinstalling sp2, then all the patches and hotfixes again. Switching the wireless security from wep to wpa has no effect either.I have all the prerequisites and the sidebar works great otherwise.Any idea how I can fix this?
ricktendo Posted May 20, 2007 Author Posted May 20, 2007 Its a known VAIO bug... WiFi gadgets cause a delay load error, here are some gadgets that have been edited by fmustang to work around the ERROR http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?s=&...post&p=3855
Qrexin Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Yes those tweaked wireless gadgets did the trick. Thank you so much Rick.

arnoud Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Ricktendo64 can you please make a way to run Dreamscene on xpThis is the site where you can download it from: http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=08CSA6GDthese are the files but they only can run in vista.these files are originally hacked for the purpose off running dreamscene on vista home basic, home premium and on bussines.p.s. sorry for my bad english im from the netherlands
ricktendo Posted May 24, 2007 Author Posted May 24, 2007 Sorry arnoud I did not make i possible for the sidebar to run on XP that is Rafael and ZoRoNaX http://www.fromvistatoxp.com/EDIT: I just asked Rafael and he says its NOT possible
fbnc Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the update! I love that my slideshow gadget now works correctly.One question- this update seems to have broken the App Launcher gadget. I can no longer add applications to it. Each time it crashes the sidebar and locks up my computer. The App Launcher still works with the default application choices, I just can't add any other (custom) ones.Anyone else have trouble with this? Edited May 24, 2007 by fbnc
arnoud Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 ah never mind i will just wait until dreamxp comes out> http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12430 But also i expect great things to happen for hacking Vista.Cause dreamscene is already hacked to work on home basicOff course the sidebar is tooAnd direct x10 is also on the way to work on xp. But oanyway thanks for the quik reply.
arnoud Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Oh and by the way does anybody know wich program does give you the bigger vista icons.i already got the icons but i want to make them bigger i know how to do it from xp but then also my startmenu icons are getting bigger and i dont want that.
ricktendo Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 The App Launcher still works with the default application choices, I just can't add any other (custom) ones.Anyone else have trouble with this?Yes I just found out that vshell32.dll is from the old VAIO build 1 so its been removedOh and by the way does anybody know wich program does give you the bigger vista icons.I think IconCraft and or IconTweaker can do what you wantUpdated Sidebar AddOn see Changelog for detailsRemoved Slideshow fix (found out it was the old vshell32.dll form VAIO bild 1)Added CPL shortcut to sidebar properties (Thanks to SoKoOLz)
CBC888 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Updated Sidebar AddOn see Changelog for detailsRemoved Slideshow fix (found out it was the old vshell32.dll form VAIO bild 1)Added CPL shortcut to sidebar properties (Thanks to SoKoOLz)Sorry to bother you with this question again, Rick, but...I currently have the Apr-8-2007 v2.4 version of the Sidebar installed. Should I uninstall it and install the May-25-2007 v7.05.25 version?... or is there a simple way to achieve the same results (eg. delete the vshell32.dll file and add the CPL shortcut/file?).Thanks in advance!
