Windows Sidebar Issue..

I have recently purchased a sony vaio VGNNR11S. It came with preloaded software, some of which included the Google version of the windows side bar. I have not made any changes to the settings except to uninstall the program. I then wanted to activate the windows sidebar. On trying to do so, it gave me an error saying that my windows sidebar is managed by my system administrator.. My user account has full administrator rights, so I have no clue as to what the problem is. If any one can help, it would seriously be appreciated.

Hi lynxv3

welcome to club vaio..

This fix that may work..

Go to Start, then in the search box type regedit.

Click on on Regedit and browse to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows\Sidebar

right click on turnoffsidebar and change 1 to 0.
