Try deleting the Drive Info .Gadget folder in the Shared Gadgets folder and then re-download the one from Windows Gadget Gallery and re-install it, then tell me if you still have the same error

My friend,

I've deleted it and download from gallery. bu somehow it doest appears at all! test with other gadgets they are okay except that driveinfo...very weird and funny

Hello Ricks ! ,

Thank you for this amazing addon/installer, ive been using it since the day it came out as RTM .

I have an issue , it's annoying , but it doesnt close/crash sidebar , its the attached error message , i keep getting it between 2 to 3 hours while the sidebar is running , Would u help me please ?

@Nadeem I'm afraid thats a question for the makers of VAIO Rafael and Zoronax, I cant say that I have ever had that error... The only thing I can think of is try reinstalling VAIO and then Right Click on Sidebar.exe and Patch and Run Vista Executable (VAIO Patch)

this doesnt seem to work , the error msg is still there , do u have any other clues ? i dont think its a Vaio issue, ive had this one before i formatted my computer , and the msg was gone after the format.

but , i changed the computer 1 week ago , and when i installed the sidebar , the msg came back , note that i have RVMupdatePack 2.1.9 and Dotnet 3.0,2.0,1.1 , also WMP11 and IE7 are already integrated with latest Hotfixes.

Thanks in advance ricks !

I'm getting the following error msg on startup:

"Sorry. This application attempted to delay-load a library of function that does not exist. Instability may occur."

After that Windows Sidebar crashes...

I already had WMP 11 & IE7, so i downloaded .Net 3.0 & Vaioxp_b2r3.4_feb02 & installed them...

What can be the prob?? I couldn't download WLAN Api.

Thx

What can be the prob?? I couldn't download WLAN Api.

It is one of the REQUIREMENTS you must have for it to run properly.

He couldn't download WLan API cuz he does not have genuine windows... Sorry! cant help you

Ok... I've downloaded WLAN API & now Windows Sidebar is working.

But none of the gadgets(except for a few) are working.

When i'm adding a gadget, it says:

A Runtime Error has occurred.

Do you wish to Debug?

Line: 299

Error: Library not registered.

How can i make the gadgets work??

Thx

Drag and drop wlsrvc.dll and sbdrop.dll into regsvr32.exe in the same folder then type this in a Run Box or CMD window

"%VAIOTOOLS%\regtlib.exe" "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe"

Great!!! The Sidebar works perfectly now!!!

Thanks a lot!!!!
