Hi All,
 
Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I could never get this to work, but thought I would put this out there in case anyone else ran into the same problem, so they could start where I left off.
 
The closest I came to finding an answer was on a blog from Johans Sani
http://jsani.com/blog/index.php/2007/06/04/dynamips-vista-uac/ <http://jsani.com/blog/index.php/2007/06/04/dynamips-vista-uac/>
 
He says: "To run Dyamips/Dynagen as Administrator in Vista, you have to modify the .cmd files created by the Dynagen package installer, to use absolute path(s)" Then says to load three command files located on the above link.
 
This caused the Dynamips Server window to stay open (finally) but I could never get it to work with the internetwork expert topology.
 
Final solution...I'm going to swap this pc for an XP box!
 
Good luck and thanks,
 
Kevin

Hey Kevin,

Try this:

1> Start -> Run -> Eventvwr
2> Clear all the logs from APPLICATTION and SYSTEMS
3> RUN the Dynamips again and search with the Event ID: and Error code in
Google and follow the url pointers to MICROSOFT site.
4> This Generally happens if you tried installing applications after
Dynamips installed, then new installed application occupy the memory address
register and since that register is busy your Dynamips does not have that
register free to run.
5> Once you find out that application 'UNINSTALL' and try dynamips again
after reload the system.
6> Give a try to reinstallation of Dynamips if doesn't work.
7> Finally if does not work, look for the upgrade version of Dynamips :-)
this will resolve the problem.

Regards,
Vinod

Hello all,

I've been trying to load Dynamips on my new Vista machine
(internetworkexpert 4.01 version). Had it running perfectly on XP
before. I've shared access to the Dynampips folder and disabled the FW
(which was my first issue) but now when I double click the "Dynamips
Server" instead of two windows appearing like before, a window appears
for a brief second and then disappears. Then nothing else happens.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
