Perhaps this is a common thing that happens among new vista users. Email feedback and try them, see if they know anything

I know very little about Vista. I hear that Vista 64 has problems with shockwave, not sure about the 32bit version. I'll look into any possible fixes.

On the risk of this turning into a Vista bashing thread i havnt heard anything good about Vista worth upgrading to it for. Have also heard a lot about a great many programs and software that most people want not working with Vista.

...Setting changes and security changes I make...

I tried Vista as a Virtual machine (ie you emulate running it in software, in this case on WinXP) a few months ago, and it allowed iSketch to work. (However this is a while ago, but I'm pretty certain I DID test iSketch - lol, made a cup of coffee, finished a 2000 piece jigsaw, solved the pending energy crisis, and proved 2=1, whilst it installed...)


So what actually happens for you, when you type in http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml ?


Vista is a security pain in the butt, secure(r) - yes, but a pain in the butt. You practically have to verify that you are allowed to pick your nose, whilst using it!

Have you tried downloading a different browser? eg Firefox, or Opera.
They are less likely to be tied up in knots by security. I've almost given up using IE on other peoples Win2003 servers, because of the security hoops, even that earlier operating system makes you jump through.


We now have a Vista puter @ work, so I'll retest on ..err...Tuesday, and repost.


My personal advice to anyone at the moment, is not to buy a Vista Upgrade, until the 1st Service Pack (large software update) at least, is released, and even then take your time thinking about it.
If you buy a new computer, with Vista preinstalled it should be ok, BUT old software and hardware might not work with it yet/ever.
..and Vista64...has even less software/hardware support...:rolleyes:

Well when I go to isketch it like. Says "internet explorer has frozen" when I click log in and then it restarts internet explorer. and yes, vista's have security shoved up my ass. I have to verify that I can breathe before I Can do crap. So whatever. I'll just keep trying to get on because I know for a fact like night before I went to sleep isketch was working

..."internet explorer has frozen" when I click log in...

And the same thing happens with other browsers? Firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com), Opera (http://www.opera.com) etc.
