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?
