For some reason the background of my Side Bar went opaque white - not
the original see through to the desktop. Any way to fix this?

Thanks

Yes, right click the sidebar select properties and uncheck 'Sidebar
is always ontop of other windows'

It's not checked! I tried to check and apply then uncheck and apply
still no go!

Any other ideas

Many Thanks

Have you tried closing and then reopening it?

Other then checking to see if your Graphics Base Score has dropped for
some reason, I am fresh out of ideas. Good Luck!

I'm sure someone else here can come up with more ideas.

Yep! Checked the box and closed and reopened. Unchecked and closed
and reopened!

Still opaque white background

You didn't accidentally turn off Glass, did you?

Switch it to the left side and back again, it will reset. :)

back

I may have by accident. How do you turn Glass on and off?

Thanks

Thanks

Well I got it fixed BUT this is screwy! Some how I stumbled onto
System Performance Options and saw the Visual Effects tab. I clicked
on Custom then back to Let Widows choose. After I hit apply I saw the
visuals change. Then I started the Sidebar and the white strip was
gone and it was back to the way it looked when I first installed
Vista.

Now this leads me to another question how stable is Vista really. I
have had all my network setting changed by itself. I had turned on
Network Discovery and File sharing. Then one time the got turned
off. I had to go in and change the settings again. I have seen other
items I have set only to have the OS change them. Example - I have a
program the put an icon in the systray to detect when a camera or
other items have been attached to the computer. Three times I have
gone into MSCONFIG and disabled the item in the setup and it never
gets removed from the systray.
