After upgrading to a new computer with Vista Home Premium, I have tried to
install a trial of Flash CS3. Installing the trial worked fine on my old
computer with XP, and Flash CS3 installed without any errors on this computer.
However, when I double click to start Flash, the cursor changes to loading for
around 3 seconds, then stops. Flash.exe shows up in the Task Manager, but it is
not on the desktop or task bar. I've tried reinstalling and that hasn't fixed
it. Has anybody got any suggestions?

Hi, having recently replaced my laptop with a new one with Home Vista, all my
other stuff is XP Pro, it is so bad for anything other than normal light home
use, I would say that what you say is an upgrade is really a downgrade. Unless
you can go to the top Professional Vista version, you might be better off
'upgrading' back to XP Pro as I and many others have done. My appalling
experience is that Home Vista may be ok for those who have no idea how to use a
computer just doing emails and a letter or two. Run away from it until they
sort it out. Remember Windows Millenium edition !!!!!!!

Regards Jonathan
