After a clean install of Vista Beta 2 (dual boot with WinXP Pro) I opened
Media Player and accessed my URGE account. All worked well for a time but
then just quit working. Media player still works fine playing CDs and my
local PC library song/video files, but connectivity to Urge is broken. I
rebooted back to WinXP Pro and accessed WMP 11 Beta and my URGE account
worked just fine. After then returning to Vista URGE remains broken and will
not connect. I deinstalled URGE and reloaded but it still will not work. The
first time this happened I restored to an earlier restore point and URGE
worked again but now after a day or so URGE has stopped connecting as it did
the first time.

I have already reported this to Microsoft via the MS Beta Client software.

Any ideas?



Doug

I found on another group that this happens with a "Standard User" login. I
changed over to an "Administator" login and Urge is working fine again.
Strange that it worked for a while under the "Standard User" login and then
stopped.

The current Urge install will only work for users that are in the
Administrators group, if I recall correctly. MTV is aware of this issue and
will be addressing this in upcoming builds.

Thanks for that report,

I found that Urge works for normal non Admin users as long as it works for
the Admin user.

My issue ended up being the connection with my Pocket PC phone which someone
else (chrisj something) lead me to.

I still can't get the Mobile Device Center update to work on x64 version
though.
