I am having a similar problem. I also have vista 32 bit Sp1, just installed .NET 3.5 SP1 yesterday and have IE7. My impulse has never started once, tried reinstalling it, it always crashes while the page it wants is loading. Oh, and my sins is v1.05
I agree with people here. I don't have time or desire to play the game 80 hours a week in order to be competitive online. Which is why the lack of a campaign is such a disappointment. And I'm sure there's some formulistic way to win, and if you don't do it exactly right you'll never do well. Online play takes away the thinking aspect of games, you just have to spam whtever the games' most broken unit is.
Of course I have IE 7 and I just installed .NET 3.5 SP1 which seems to be the latest. Problem persists. Sure would be nice to just dowbload the patch normally without relying on buggy download managers.
I just installed impulse and shortly after I log in, the page it is loading disappears and the program crashes. It won't even let me send an error report. Any help would be much appreciated.
