Vista Sidebar no longer appear after latest updates

I installed the Windows Updates posted on August 14. Now my Sidebar for
gadgets no longer appears on the Desktop. It is like it was turned off.
Anybody have any ideas on how to get the Sidebar back?

Thanks,
Bob K

See if this turns it back on:

Thanks for reply. While waiting for a response from MS Support, I installed
the restore point prior to the Windows Update and re-installed the new
updates a few at a time. No Sidebar problem this time. I had one other
problem before after downloading a large number of updates at once. It took
MS support a couple of days via email to fix the problem that time.

Thanks again

You're mowst welcome Bob K. Interesting that the issue did not reappear
after you reinstalled the updates 'a few at a time'.
I *highly* recommend NOT installing more than 3 updates at a time so
that one can identify an update[s] that may be causing issues more easily.
Such are the mysteries of modern computing <w>
