I need help with getting SWG to work on my daugher's laptop that has Vista installed. I installed SWG and every time I try to run SWG it goes to the launch starts downloading for a bit then just disappears. I re-start SWG and same thing happens over and over. Are there permissions or something I have to give Vista for SWG to access internet and start working?

Complete visual guide to running SWG in Windows Vista

-----Windows Vista Launchpad Fix ------

Found these in the Tech Support forum FAQ. I had a quick read and it seems you need to run the program as administrator. Though disabling visual themes doesnt seem to be needed in most cases.

An alternative is to try the new launchpad http://launcher.station.sony.com/feedback/

i had swg installed befor i installed vista works fine for me
I sneak in my own house.
It's four in the morning
I've had too much to drink
Said i was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed,
I know if i wake her,
I'll wake up dead
