Are there any reported problems with the Sidebar after updating to IE8?

Hi,

yes I have read some Problems, most with Vista X64 or high DPI(over 96) Setting, here:

Hi Guys,

I recommend you to use the new Version 1.2.4 of DriveInfo Gadget:

I have fixed many Problems and add new Functions since V1.0 from Kris Thompson.

Vista SP2 is out, MS will have reduced the Memory use in the new Version of Sidebar, I hope the new Version works with Alky 1.1 too.

If you have more than two sidebar.exe Processes, terminate all sidebar.exe Processes and start the Sidebar new.

Is it possible, that you include a noSkin Version for easy replacement ?

I have make a German noSkin Version 18000, very small 1197 KB (save 54 KB) after patching with Alky 1.1.

Download:

Exit the Sidebar(Tray Icon), rename sidebar.exe to sidebar_org.exe, and copy the new sidebar.exe to the Main Sidebar Folder.

Spiderman-3, you have to patch a virgin/untouched sidebar.exe (one that has not been patched with alky)... So download these Windows SP1 Sidebar files, take sidebar.exe and patch it with your skin, then copy it to the Windows Sidebar dir and overwrite the old one

Now right click on sidebar.exe and choose "Patch and Run Vista Executable"

You are the best !!

I used the patched sidebar.exe from Package.

Now it works fine, my Glass Gadgets needs a transparent Background.

Download, Sidebar Build 18000 "en-US" with no Skin (ready to use, patched with Alky 1.1):

Hi Rick,

I will have a Sidebar without Shadow(Background), like the old Sidebar 16386.

When I patch the Sidebar.exe with Restorator 2007 , change only RCData (the PNG 20034 and 20035) the Sidebar will not work.

Can you help ?

ARRG! I just reformatted and now I have the weather gadget bug... (did not have it on the last nLite ISO build, gonna try to figure out why)

And en-US gadgets should work on ALL machines no matter what language you have. I have tested this out on spanish XP, en-US gadgets work.

What kind of weather bug ?

Perhaps this do help:

Search the Folder "weather" ("Microsoft\Windows Live\Services\Cache\weather") and delete all xml Files, then open the Settings Menu from Weather Gadget and click only OK.

With Alky the Sidebar runs with your locale speech.

All People with non en-US locale speech must change all "en-US" Folder in Gadgets to the right locale Code es-ES , nl-NL , de-DE ...

Exit the Sidebar before do changes.

Rafael has fixed that in the next Alky (a.k.a. VAIO)

He made his own wlanutil.dll from scratch

Yes, with Alky the WLAN Gadgets works, also the "de-DE" Folder and the Weather is in German.

Thanks to Rafael and the Alky Team, good Work.

That is a known VAIO b2 bug, WiFi Gadgets cause a delay load error... You can use these gadgets edited by fmustang http://savefile.com/projects/808466979

Hi Rick,

it's not a VAIO Bug, the Sidebar.exe need a wlanutil.dll found in Vista System32

After I copied the dll from Vista to XP, the WiFi Gadgets don't cause a error.

Please add the wlanutil.dll into your Sidebar Installer.

Thanks
