rudrax Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Every time I press the shutdown button in my computer, shows an error Any suggestion guys? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseiler Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The first thing to ask is whether or not you actually use Sidebar? If not, as I recall you can right-click it to disable it. In any case, with sidebar.exe no longer in memory (i.e. close it and use Task Manager to ensure that it's gone), does the problem still happen?

rudrax Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I use sidebar and I need it..I can close it before shutting down the window then obviously the error message will not appear anymore..But I do not want that..previously I had no problem in shutting down windows with sidebar.exe running, then why now?

rseiler Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yes, and when Windows is shutdown by normal means, does Sidebar still throw the error? Also, have you added an new/updated widgets to it recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, have you added an new/updated widgets to it recently?If I shutdown windows with sidebar.exe running, the error remains..I don't know if windows update did some changes, but I manually never installed any new gadgets except the AVAST one.

dcs18 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Did you try this:- 1. Run an elevated command prompt (this is important.) 2. Type the following SFC.EXE /scanfile=C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe3. Enter If the above fails try the following command:- 1. Run an elevated command prompt (this is important.) 2. Type the following SFC.EXE /scanfile="C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe"3. Enter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 oh damn..its a problem of password manager..I just noticed that if I exit sticky password before shutting down windows, the error does not appear..Well, its kind of weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salihb Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Maybe you should try some other password manager? Seems like it's interferring with your windows installation. I'd recommend uninstalling it and using Norton Identity Safe (currently only available with NIS/N360 or as standalone BETA https://identitysafe-beta.norton.com/) Ps. You should really run a full sfc /scannow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
