Vista doesn't like anything. I know this will not help.

From what i have found, it does work...maybe this will help? Xfire
EDIT: Read your post wrong, nothing to do with updating...SORRY!
2nd EDIT: Do you get any error messages?

Works fine for me...
Are you using the newest version? Are you running it with admin privileges?
Here we go with the anti-Vista posts again :rolleyes: ...I'm getting pretty sick of em.

Do you have a firewall on that's blocking XFire from updating?

As all new operating systems have their problems my little problems will eventually work out. SP2 maybe. You sound like you know vista very well, maybe you can help me with by sound blaster XFI audio card not working with vista? My computer reboots continually when I pop it in. Maybe I should start a new thread for this.

As for the first issue it would have to be firewall related as XFire has updated on my Vista without a problem.:rolleyes:
