Vista - Portfolio Manager (delux) won't install properly in Vista

Delux Portfolio Mgr when you run you can't get the left hand menus, you have
to close and rerun, then you can get them. On the first run you get a
message that the toolbox couldn't install properly. When you exit, rerun,
then things are ok.
I've tried all the MS suggested fixes, reinstalls, adding every conceivable
trusted site to the trusted list, turning off all security, etc. Nothing
works. Another fix said to use a live id. If you sign up for a live id, you
can't use your old hotmail.com email, if you use a non hotmail email, you get
an empty portfolio that will not load your old portfolio backkup.
Anybody have delux port mgr that runs properly ?

Thanks.

I see where you've contact Microsoft but I don't see where you've
contact the Deluxe Portfolio Mgr. tech support. That's what I'd do first.

To show the menu, just click on Portfolio in the tool bar on the same screen
instead of closing or exiting the portfolio. It's apparently related to the
Tool Box and occurs in Vista with IE7 and in some cases with XP and IE7.
