I just freezes for me. Then I can't run a new version or end task the running versions.

Eckyeve, did you check your firewall/router settings to make sure Impulse has the necessary permissions?

Should fix it.

Yeah, I can't get it to run, either. So, I have to be a hacker/programmer to get a service program to run, eh? Log on to some microsoft site I have never seen or been to, and finagle the whole VISTA thing.... AGAIN?!?!? Hey, Stardock, why not make a program that installs? This whole Impulse thing is a joke. I can't even add it to an exceptions list in my firewall. Anyway, what a waste of time.

Wow thank you galacticorigins/Annatar11...I've been gone for a while and I was getting EXTREMELY angry.  I do not know why 1.) Impulse can't update itself without having to go find the new ver. 2.) The 'new' ver isn't even an actual ver. but just a downloader..anyway hopefully I'll be playing sometime tonight and be back to not sucking in a week or so..thanks again.
