I had that problem when I downloaded the free/preview version. I uninstalled, reinstalled, register, and updated. I think.

To bad Vistsa might be shitty w/ ectune.

Is that a new laptop? what kind?
If its because of vista, you should be able to downgrade to XP. Then it will be tits.

While you can down grade most Vistsa equip computers down to Xp, some computers don't have the drivers for the Xp, thus making Xp unable to run right. Also doing a double boot on a computer seems to shorten the HD life. You can run multiple OS on a computer with out having to do a double boot at all. BTW Linux> windows

I had the same problem with vista and Ectune, but I got all my ---- worked out. First did you disable the UAC ( user account control)?

i don't know if it would make a difference or if you did it already, but right click, then "run as administrator"

just a thought...

click the start menu and at the bottom there will be a start search bar type in U it should pull up user accounts. click it and it will pull up options at the bottom of the options it will say turn user account control on or off. click that and turn it off.

NP it was the biggest pain in the ass to get it to load properly. Good luck this stuff is pretty user friendly and has a FAQ on how to use it.
