i can not get the vista sidebar to load. the outline is visiable, but you get a loading icon from the mouse when you mouseover and you can not see any gadgets. why no simple solution to add/remove this as a windows component?

Vista activation by Aaron
I recently added a new hard drive to my computer because the old one died, and I had to place Vista on a different hard drive. Now my old activation key is not valid, but for all other purposes my computer is exactly the same except for the new HD, although it probably appears to the program that it is a different computer. Does this mean every time a new component is added, a person has to...

Installing XP on a second hard drive has clobbered Vista on the primary drive. I do not have my Vista DVD with me and am wondering the easiest way to recover Vista ? I obviously have a XP CD with me, and am hoping that I can get away with out having to redownload a Vista ISO from MSDN Subscriptions. Any help welcomed,

Sysprep'd Image Hangs when Deploying on Certain Hardware by Aaron K
I currently have a sysprep'd Vista image sealed using sysprep /generalize /oobe /unattend:myfile.xml This image works fine if I deploy it onto Dell Latitude D820 (reference system it was built from), IBM Thinkpad G41, and IBM Thinkpad T60. When deploying to a Thinkpad T40 and T42 it simply hangs when booting. Enabling boot logging doesn't generate a log.

Machine runs Vista -- want to install XP for dual boot by Aaron Wheeler
Just purchased a Vaio with OEM Vista. Can I also install XP? This is super important -- my backup software (Retrospect) unexpectedly will not run on Vista. The only way I can get my data is to run it in XP. So I think I need multiboot. So, bottom line: if I partition my hard drive for multiboot, can I install XP from a CD? I have tried this, but Vista prevents me from installing an older...
