No sidebar errors on SFC?

Nope. Running a OneCare scan now. My Norton expired last week, and I haven't renewed it yet.

Go into clean boot mode and see if it works
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Found the problem. It was in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones

Supposed to be Zones 0,1,2,3,4. Before 0 there was one that looked like "L". Deleted this, and everything works fine now....

I was lucky, I guess. I did a google search and found this site with the answer:

Windows Vista - gadget sidebar working properly

I'm not sure if this is a microsoft-sponsored forum, but seems to be a good resource. Someone here said that Vista and 7 gadgets were similar, so I tried this guys fix, which worked perfectly...
