Is anyone else having problems running the harmony remote software in Windows Vista?

I am running 64 bit Vista and can get it to install but when I run it, it says that it is going into basic windowing mode or something like that, but the application never shows up even in the task manager.

I've even run it in elevated mode as an administrator and tried a variety of compatibility settings.

I am running Vista and Harmony 7.02 software and it works fine. It does put the colour scheme down to basic (as do some other programs) but the software itself runs just fine. Although I'm on Vista x86

The Harmony software is not as clear or versatile as the web site (members.harmonyremote.org), which should work fine from IE7 in Vista. I have Win XP but always use the web site where my commands are up to date and the system is complete.

Both the local software and the website use the same database so your commands are the same either way.

I've been running Vista since RC2 and am currenty on the release version of Home Premium. I haven't had any problems with the Harmony software other that it causing Vista to switch from the Aero to basic.
