The only time I got it to install was on my desktop (Vista) by changing the installation directory to a non-NTFS USB drive (FAT 32). I was prepared to do the same on my laptop, but it bypassed any attempt at installing the program and went almost immediately to the second disk and finished.
Now the same is happening on any of the Vista laptops I have tried this on (all 2).
Don't get my evaluation of the program wrong - I quite liked it when I was running it under XP - I could relate what was on the screen to what I was actually seeing.
If I didn't want to use it, I would not have spent so much time trying. I have finally admitted defeat and found an alternative in Voyager.

Geoff,
Have you tried this work around off Imaginova's website. Your problem was
a common problem some months back. Did you try installing under XP
compatibility? as discribe here... From memory this fix worked for most folks
Windows Vista and Starry Night
http://www.starrynightsupport.com/su...kb&article=234
And here are a couple of other links that maybe of help...
Windows Vista and previous versions of Starry Night

Intel graphics cards on Windows Vista

Also if you uninstall SN, make sure you kill the "Prefs" folder usually located
here on an XP machine.
C:\Documents and Settings\[YourUserName]\Local Settings\Application Data\Imaginova Canada\
This folder can cause a few problems if not removed prior to re-install
Hope these helped, otherwise Go! Voyager
regards,CS
