Thank Ricktendo64...but i have 2 question: 1 - In another post: http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=505 i see this installer Windows_Sidebar_Installer_August_1-2007.exe and before install it must install Alky for Applications XP or 2003.... So i am a little confuse ? this installer is the same of this or not ? I use your procedure of manual install ....or perhaps i can use also this ?? 2 - ...in the firs post i read "....Q1: The gadgets don't work, the clock is all black. What do I do? A: The Sidebar files were not successfully registered. To fix this go to "Add or Remove Programs" and use the "Change" button to fix/diagnose your problem. (It will also repair Nero DiscCopy and some Uninstalled Gadgets)"...okay but in my ad or remove programs there is not CHANGE button...why ??? because i use manual install ? 3 - ..when you said...."Overwrite the files in Windows Sidebar directory with this: Windows Vista RTM Sidebar v6.0.6000.16386... these unpatched ones and repatch sidebar.exe, sbdrop.dll and wlsrvc.dll with alky (right click on them and choose patch vista library) ...you tell to left my manualinstallation and installover it this ? is correct.? Thank and escuse me Hispanico
