Anyone else having a problem getting windows sidebar to work in this beta? If I don't try to launch the sidebar I can used the desktop gadget by right clicking and put gadgets on the desktop. After I try to launch the sidebar, the desktop gadget option no longer works.

if you have the uac right to the bottom or off then sidebar wont work.

bring it up by one notch and it works.

remember to restart your pc for it to take effect.

hope that helps. :thumbup

My sidebar doesn't show up at all. I can run the process manually and I can see process running in task manager. However, there's no signs of the sidebar on my desktop.

Any ideas?

My UAC setting is the default settings (second from the top). I tried having it on the highest settings, but no lucky.

Thanks,
