Have you tried manually restarting Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop service and look for any errors in Event Viewer->System ?

Uninstalling and reinstalling makes no difference nor does installing as administrator.

Luckily so far I am not having this issue myself (laptop running Windows 7 Eval 32bit).

by the way, user must be an admin user in order to install and run yzd.

Ok this is what my assistant did today to get it to work:

Opened notepad in administrative mode (%systemroot%)
Navigate to hosts file (%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\[hosts]) and open
Change the line of localhost on the left (mine was ::1) to 127.0.0.1
Save file.
Install ZD


Regards,
Sean.

Did all that and no difference. Running an IT Dept we know the quirks of Vista. Seems to be more a hosts file issue from what we can see.

oh, you probably ran into this issue: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/general...osts-file.html
