Axel,
Hope this helps...
From the Kit Log site, the program does not run in Vista.
"Please note that due to the enhanced reporting capability of KitLog Pro v2.0, you must be running Windows 2000 or XP. KitLog Pro v2.0 is not available for Windows 95, 98 or ME users."
Hmmm........ From the Kitlog FAQ:
Q. What are the computer system requirements for Kitlog Pro?
A. Kitlog Pro requires Windows 2.x, or Vista to run and a minimum screen resolution of 800x600, although 1024x768 or greater is highly recommended. A broadband connection to the Internet is also highly recommended. (Kitlog Pro 2.x is not supported by Windows 95/98/ME or NT.)
The text you took out of context on the download page is old text that hasn't been updated to include Vista.
Vista works just fine. I have no relationship with Matt other than being a happy customer, I worked with him testing Vista when it was released. Initially there were problems with Vista 64bit, but I have been given the impression from Matt that he's resolved those issues.
The Vista Firewall shouldn't be an issue. Mine is enabled. Proxy servers tend to be problematic with many applications. I have no knowledge of specific issues between Kitlog and any proxy server. However, based upon my other experience, I would be to try to take the proxy server out of the equation.
Matt did supply some dlls and exes to me during the test back in 2007 to get Vista to work. I am not going to redistribute this code, since I'm sure that Matt has more current code available. My recommendation would be to get a current set of code from Matt. My recommendation would be to ensure you are using the newest code available. I believe that you can get it
here. You will need your serial number to enable this.
I know when something isn't working right it gets frustrating. It may take Matt awhile to resolve a problem, but he usually does.
