    Type "sidebar" into the search box

    Click on the first category, and then on "open sidebar" - and see if
    that works

    You are not alone...Same issue here, worked a few times, now it's gone! Looks
    like a common issue now stretching back to Sept 2006, but no resolution :-(

    Have you added gadgets to it? Try removing them manually, then see if
    just the Sidebar will open.

    try this approach
    go to Start in Search put in msconfig, then go to the Startup tab and check
    if the boxes for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems are checked... if they
    are not ..check them and restart.

    I made a post on this forum of how I got my sidebar working again. It may
    help you also.

    Search the forum for "sbdrop.dll"
