do a windows update now
the sidebar is on the ride hand side of the screen by default.
things like the orange clock and the news ticker are gadgets that show up on the side bar.

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comMaybe not — maybe so.
I did find that the Windows Easy Transfer doesn't copy the PST file from Outlook even though they say it does copy one's emails.
When Win 7 was installed and I wanted to reinstall MS Office, I discovered that all my emails (including the 2000+ unanswered ones) and my contacts list were nowhere to be found.
At least I don't have to worry about answering those emails anymore. However, I also lost all the software registration emails, too.
My system is much quicker with the 64-bit Win 7 than it was with XP.
Now waiting for a new SCSI card so I can get my film scanner and flatbed scanner going again. Win 7 doesn't support the Adaptec 2940.
Oh, and my new wireless keyboard has died. Back to the old one.

SubscriberI've done 4 Windows 7 complete (W7 Home Premium OEM SP1) installs in the last week, two each of 64 bit and 32 bit. Two of the installs were upgrades using the easy transfer wizard and the Outlook .pst files came across in both. One machine had a 'c drive mail' .pst and it came across also.
I can't remember if I had to open the 'optional' (2nd group) of selections in Easy Transfer to manually select this but I don't think so.
If you still have the original Xp drive, connect it to the new PC and do a search for *.pst and locate the mail file (may have to tick 'show hidden files' can't remember) and copy the file. Then do the same in the W7 install, rename its Outlook *.pst to old.pst, paste in your 'old' *.pst renamed to whatever the new *.pst was and away you go.
Contacts and favorites can be done the same way.
As for the sidebar thing, didn't come up by default in any of the installs.
As a point of interest I found doing a bios update made a big difference to system stability on two of the builds I did. Both were new Asus motherboards with AMD 4100/6100 processors.

I've found that the pst files don't come across sometimes. I think it has something to do with user accounts and the versions of office in play on both machines. Most of the time they transfer.
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comI might have missed something in the settings before doing the transfer. I had the full Office University 2010 install on the XP machine (now reinstalled on the Win 7 Professional machine).
Regrettably my boot drive is the same one so I can't go back to the old XP C:drive to look for the Outlook.pst file.
I should have backed it up to a DVD first. Oh, well, never mind. I'll have to chase down some of the contacts again. Fortunately, I have most of them on my iPhone so I just need to do a sync. It's only the latest ones that are missing.
My motherboard is several iterations behind on the BIOS firmware so I'll look into doing a reflash.
