Does anyone know of (free) software that will allow you to run Vista Sidebar Gadgets on an XP machine
I've tried some but generally all they do is provide a look-a-like with a limited number of "gadgets" rather than you being allowed to add genuine ones from Vista

I have this running on my one machine and allows you to add on the gadgets from the MS website.It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!(OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)0 -
The links in the link send me to a VERY dodgy looking website - which doesn't include any reference to the sidebar fix0

They're the ones I used to get it to work on mine, no problem, though the links now appear broken.It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!(OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)0
