Visual Site Designer - Post ID 5249
Hi, I have just downloaded the complete works of coffeecup yesterday, and tested the Visual Site Designer. Today, I tried to access Visual Site Designer and got an error message "Visual Site Disgner has stopped working" and that the problem has caused the program to stop working. I am using Vista, and was wondering whether Coffeecup was compatible with Vista, or if this was the problem or not? Also on the Flash Firestarter, when I try to create a Banner through the wizard an error message pops up saying "the parameter in incorrent" When I try to add colour, text ect. Perhaps someone could advise of this also. Thanks, Jackie

If you will right click on the program and run as administrator that should clear up your problem. I too have windows vista and this step quickly resolved the problem.
Have fun with your software. I bought the webmaster superpack and just love CoffeeCup.

Like Janice said, you can right-click -> Run as Administrator or you can disable Vista's nagging User Account Control (UAC) and VSD will then work fine with the normal left-clicking.

We are new to Coffee Software and just purchased VSD.
Would like to know if anyone has a suggestion for 2 computers compiling one website. Should we both use one external hard drive?
Still waiting for an answer from support but thought I'd try this too.

You're going to need to be sharing the actual .vnu work file, as well as the source folder(s) for all the images and stuff you bring into the design because VSD will look for all of that every time you open the file. Some sort of shared drive would be best, yes. Can you network them and share a workspace that way?
