I accidentally uninstalled Windows Sidebar from my Vista Home Premium (32bit)
system....any ideas of how to add it again?

I've googled my heart out but I can't find an installer.
 
You can't delete sidebar. It is part of the system. You likely just turned
it off. Type "sidebar" in search. You will see it in the top pane. Select
and then press enter.

it should be available in windows components/programs, the XP version was
add/remove>windows components

Hi,

Remove current gadgets one at a time, reboot inbetween until it starts
correctly. The last gadget removed is likely the problem. Either don't use
it or see if an updated version or alternate one that performs the same
function exists.

Sidebar is not working or it is not starting?

If the latter, right click a blank area in the sidebar and go to properties.
Place a check in the box that tells it to start with Windows.
