For the third time, after I download the software again, I'm having problems with opening it. It opens after downloading, and this last time once after I closed it, but now I click and nothing happens. Use both icon and directly from VSD exec in program files. I use Windows 7. Any suggestions?

Try this:

1. Right-click the VSD shortcut icon, and click Properties.
2. Click the Compatibility tab.
3. Here, put a check mark by Run This Program as an Administrator.
4. Next, put a check mark next to Run This Program in Compatibility Mode For: and ensure Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 is selected.
5. Click OK.

Now try and open VSD.

It worked! I'm not sure why Windows XP when I'm using 7, but I'm it's fine with me. Thank you. You've saved me a lot of downloading time.
