It seems that I'm not the only one who had the Windows Sidebar no longe
working after installing the new release of Internet Explorer. Afte
spending a lot of time trying to find a solution, here is the way I hav
solve the problem. Now the sidebar is just working fine. Enjoy

Answe

This behavior is observed if the XML registration is missing in th
system. To fix the problem, use the following steps

* Close Windows Sidebar. To do so, right-click on the Sidebar ico
in the Notification area and click Exi
* Open an elevated Command Prompt window. To do so, click Start
click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, an
then click Run as administrator
* In the Command Prompt window, type the following and press ENTER

regsvr32 msxml3.dl

Similarly, run these commands

regsvr32 scrrun.dl

regsvr32 jscript.dl

If the registration was successful, you'll see the messag
DllRegisterServer in <filename> succeeded for each command executed
Open Windows Sidebar (sidebar.exe) and check if the problem is resolved

I am having the same problems with the sidebar, it simply stopped working
after I installed de final IE8 release. The sidebar doesn´t open and an error
message pops up.
I tried these propmt commads but, in all of them, I got error messages
poping up.
Will microsoft fix that in a next update?

Regards,
Carlos

after getting into Command Prompt how do you get into Run a
administrator???? I'm seeing C:\Users\Owner I was afraid to mess wit
my source files so i gave up.


I got my sidebar gadgets back by going in and uninstalling IE8..the
came back when I restarted.

Who needs IE8 after all these hassles...where do I send the bill t
Microsoft for all the time I've wasted on trying to get their program
to work???... this after spending hundreds of dollars to buy it in th
first place
