I bought WinDVD 8 Platinum (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) edition online last month and installed it OK on my MCE2005 machine. I have since upgraded this machine to Vista Home Premium but I am unable to install WinDVD.
I run WinDVD and it asks me to activate it, I supply the required information for activation, it tells me activation is successful and to relaunch WinDVD, when I do though I get presented with the same license activation dialog box. I've contacted support and have done what they suggested (been on the phone with them for about an hour) but no fix.
They're off scratching their heads thinking about it at the moment, has anyone else had this? If I don't get a solution soon, I'm going to have to request a refund.

Thanks for the suggestions.
UAC is off by default.
Haven't tried safe mode but Support have a recommended solution to follow that they gave me yesterday. Only problem is their FTP site has been inaccessible for the past 24 hours and I cannot download the two files I need and for some reason they've been unable to fix it.
May try Safe mode tomorrow if I have no luck with FTP.

I have exactly the same problem too using Vista Ultimate PC
VERY frustrating!!! Software this difficult to get up and running - if even possible on a VISTA PC - should not be offered for sale to consumers.
I haven't tried the SAFE boot mode yet but if that is the "workaround" for every time I want to use this application, I will be soon be asking for a refund.
I was able to get WINDVD 8 Platinum to install, activate and launch successfully on an XP PC, but it is a laptop without much graphics performance and no HD or BluRay DVD drive. I have a HD DVD on my new fairly high end desktop PC, and that is why I want it to work with Vista.
Based on previous posts here, I am not looking forward to getting on the phone with Tech Support.
