No Vista sidebar

I have installed Vista x64 and there's no vista sidebar. I tryed
searching in start menu, control panel even in program files. I couldn't
find anything. So is there way to install it manualy? I guess i
installed version without sidebar. Thanks for any response...

Open Control Panel. At the top right of the window there is a search box,
type sidebar, you should now see the heading below "Windows Sidebar
Properties" click it and that will open "Sidebar Properties" put a check
mark next to "Start Sidebar when Windows starts".

From the "Start Search" you can do the same thing as above and at the top of
your start menu under programs you should see "Windows Sidebar Properties"
click it and it will open the same dialog box as above.

Open Control Panel, Under the heading "Additional Options" click it, at the
left side of this window is a list pane find on that list "Programs" click
it, now you will see in this window more heading, click the one that says
"Windows Sidebar Properties"

I am unaware if there is a Vista version that does not include Windows
Sidebar. There is always a chance if you have a branded computer like Dell,
Gateway, etc. that the manufacture of that box may not have included Sidebar
as part of their default installation. So If after using the directions
above you still can't find Windows Sidebar contact the manufacture of your
computer.

Contact the vendor of your copy of your Vista "?" "?" x64 and ask them.

Go over each icon bottom right ( by the clock ) , if one says windows
sidebar , right click , open .

I installed SP2 (slipstreamed) fresh on one of my old machines with only
512MB memory and the sidebar didn't come up. Not sure if it's an SP2 thing
or just the low memory that Vista decided to leave it off by default. Do
any of these apply to your situation?

Seems like a lot of hoopla. Just type _sidebar_ into the _run_ box.
If there are no results then sidebar is not installed for whatever
reason.
