for vista 64 according to microsoft and the vsta_aide. it appeared to
install correctly but errors of i luanch it fro mthe programs
directory. anywya, i was able to get the swx dload to install
completely with no errors everything looks good. i restarted to be
safe. when i hit the shortcut nothing happens. any ideas?
