Vista SIdebar BEX problem

Every few days my sidebar does not launch and I get a BEX error message.
Sometimes I need to reboot 2 or 3 times until the sidebar launches. I noticed
a poster here had Corel Paint installed and he received a BEX. I have Corel
Draw 12 Suite which includes Paint installed but I have had no issues with
it. The only BEX is when the sidebar fails to launch. Any suggestions on the
problem? And DON"T be a dick and say swith OS, trolls like you are a waste of
everybody's time!

Hi, Endemix.

OK, I'll bite...What's BEX?

Whenever the sidebar fails to launch, the error message advises it is a BEX
whatever that means. Specifically, I get the following:

Hi, Endemix.

That's a new one on me! And apparently to Google and Microsoft Live Search,
too. Well, they come up with some hits for "BEX", but none that seem to
have any connection to the Vista Sidebar.

I've never seen BEX, either, but Sidebar has not failed to launch for me.
Have you queried Corel to see if anyone else is reporting such problems with
their software and Vista, especially the Sidebar?
