    sidebar.exe preventing shutdown
    « on: December 15, 2012, 08:04:28 AM »
    whenever i try to shutdown my laptop (hp pavillion dv6 1319) it says following program is preventing windows(7) to shutdown.
    the program is sidebar.exe
    it doesn`t shutdown till you force it to.
    the problem is persistent for quite a long time.
    i used microsoft programs (microsoft fixit 50906 & 50907) to disable first and then enable sidebar.exe, but the problem is still there
    please help!
