Re: Vista + Urge = No joy


Could you define your problem as if it's your problem alone? If it's a new
laptop, it would not be possible for you to hit the XP-to-Vista Urge upgrade
issue the original poster had hit. =\

I have had the same exat problem. New Laptop w. Vista (which I otherwise
enjoy). Media player won't connect to the internet even though I
definitely
have a connection. All the MS help info says to uninstall and re-install
URGE
but URGE does not appear in the Programs and Updates dialog so I can't
figure
out how to uninstall it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Known bug in their installer that they're aware of and I believe are
addressing Real Soon Now.

Have installed Vista RC2 (build 5744) with whatever version of WMP11
ships
with it (I know I'm supposed to like the new simple menu structure but
I
really wish I could just do a Help | About to know what the heck I'm
running). When I click on the Urge button it downloads two files and
starts
installing, but after getting to 95% it fails with error 80040152 and
the
message "It was not possible to complete Urge setup".

I get the same thing with MSN Music.

Any ideas (other than roll back to XP) that could get me back on my
Urge
subscription? Is it possible to unload / reload the app?
