    Vista Sidebar & Google Sidebar

    Oh how oh how can i run the Vista Sidebar and Google Sidebar simultaneously? I am running a dual monitor setup with Vista x64 and would love to run them both again (one of the older versions ran just fine with Vista's Sidebar). Please enlighten me.

    RE: how to use google sidebar

    I did'nt mean to but I turned of the google sidebar. It was in a column on the right side of my Windows Vista Desktop. I want to get it back, but I don't know how. Do you know how to turn "google sidebar" on after it's been turned off?

    Well, here I am again, wondering if anyone has looked into this issue. I guess it is a moot point now that 7 will be coming out soon, and no dockable sidebar from windows. Hmmm.

    Well, here I am, wondering if I can run dual sidebars again (Google's & Vista's). However, now I am on Windows 7 x64 RTM and I will be "porting" over the Vista sidebar to run in 7. After that, I will install Google's again and see if it shuts off the Vista one. Silly Windows and Google...can't you play nice together? LOL

    //**********edit**********
    Yep, they still don't play nice together. You enable one, and it disables the other. *sigh*
