fed up with vista

Ok unsigned active x could be dodgy if you want to risk it goto tools internet options security and select custom levels scroll down to unsugned active x and select prompt if available apply it close ie and try again

[flip63]

no joy, windows is still blocking because it can't verify publisher, and i can't overide it, keeps coming back with the same message, although it allows me to go through the process, but comes up with the same message at the end ( as above )

I user account control on? does the screen go dark and you have to say ok to do anything

[flip63]

user account on, click virtual tour, blank window with red x, bar at top, message, int. exp. stopped this site from installing active x, click option, click install active x, window titled (user account control ) needs permission, click continue, window (int. exp. add on security warning) windows has blocked this software because it can't verify publisher, click ok, back to blank window with red x.
no dark screen.

turn it off. Press win key and R at the same time then type msconfig,click tools scroll to disable UAC and click launch. Reboot pc then try again

find user accounts in the control panle and look ti make sure ur account is a admin account and not limited altho for the time been try and make another account with admin rights and see if that works

no joy, same story, is it best to enable uac again now

[Tightscot]

can enable uac now if you like... one other thing you could try is to run a system file check - this will confirm that the original vista files are all ok...

System file check is run from a command prompt, but you'll need to be running as an administrator... do the following:

Click Start, type cmd into the Start/Search box, right-click cmd.exe in the list above and select 'Run as Administrator'.

Then type in sfc /scannow and then hit return

the system file check will run - it may ask for the Vista installation cd, so make sure that is in the cd drive...

Once its completed, reboot the pc and try again...

click win key and r to run as admin

Tried Tightscott & Zinglebarbs suggestions. all I am getting is a black screen with
microsoft windows (version 6.0. 6000)
copyright (c) 2006 microsoft corporation, all rights reserved
c:\user\------>

No cmd .exe

ok reboot pc once your past boot before vista starts press the F8 key this should give you the option of safe mode. Take that and log in as administator. Goto control panel users and change your user to administator if it isnt already if it is then create a new admin account and reboot pc. Log into admin and try again

Hi Ben B,
Sorry I didn't see your message before my last post.
I have tried since to snip, but I cannot get image to forum, any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong. Tired and fed up, will try again tomorrow.

Click the 'Go Advanced' button next to 'Post Quick Reply' and scroll down a bit. Click the button called 'Manage Attachments' and you'll see 3 boxes with 3 buttons called 'Browse'. Click the first Browse button, find the image file on your PC, click Upload.

Then you can close the Attachment form. You'll need to type something in the post text box as well (as you normally would for a reply).
