cygnus Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks Rik! Working great here, including the themes Is there anyway to disable the transparency? My laptop can't really handle it that well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 If you dont want the transparent sidebar just extract the sidebar.exe from RTMSidebarSkins.7z and copy it (Unpatched) to %ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar then Right Click on sidebar.exe and Patch and Run Vista Executable...BTW the None skin is just that a sidebar with absolutely NO Skin, I recommend that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Are you by any chance using a WiFi Gadget?... Its known to cause the same error, if not Download the Hotfix from Microsoft and Install it see if that gets rid of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 hmmm thats wierd. Never heard of any of those errors.The reason some gadgets might be broken is either IE7 is not installed correctly and/or the gadgets arent registered correctlyTry this cmd file /(copy it into notepad and save as whatever.cmd)ECHO OFFCLSTITLE Sidebar Files RegistrationCD "%VAIOTOOLS%"regtlib "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe"CD "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar".\regsvr32 sbdrop.dll.\regsvr32 wlsrvc.dllTaskkill.exe /IM sidebar.exe /FStart sidebar.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jembal Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Good day,Feel so happy coz my sidebar issues fixed already.... after throughout study in this forum.... :thumbsup_anim: and you're right my IE didn't installed correctly thats why I can't installed WLAN API and also because of some of my XP files corrupted. ....in the first place I reinstalled the XP then everything went okay! :worthy: But I still has small issues : Why my drive info gadget cannot displayed 2 images, when I picked 2 drive the image went black and ugly?.............why my calculator only functioning when using mouse not the keyboard?......why feed headlines look weird ? and lastly as common user faced the weather info still nut functioning... :questionmark: But overall I'm 120% satisfied with this sidebar compared with others...You really done great job. congrat :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
