    Hey, i recently got my m1330, and i noticed at first the usual "windows vista"-esque sidebar with the fancy clock and all that stuff but after i attempted to tweak it to add more speed, i noticed it dissapeared..

    Anyone know how to bring it back? If im gonna have to stick with Vista, I want it to look cool at least :)

    Also, where can i download nice gadgets? I would try google but i want to know if there is a trustworthy site.

    Thanks!

    That works. You can also get gadgets over at Microsoft live.

    Once you have the sidebar back, you can just click on the "+" at the top of the sidebar, then click on the link to "Get More Gadgets Online"

    You can get some nice gadgets at the website here.

    Useful ones, in my opinion, are the cpu and memory usage monitors, HDD monitor and indicator of wireless signal availability and strength.
