I have windows vista now. I tried to log on to X10 and it did the normal of asking me to install ActiveX and I did and it says it is installed but I still have a black screen. What do I need to do ?

Can you give us more details. Like is this a software problem or are you having trouble getting on the X10 sales web site?

If you're using IE 8, you'll have a problem. With IE 7, and Vista, you have to run IE "As Administrator", and/or play with the UAC to get it to work.
But, MyHouse is flaky anyhow. I hardly ever even try it anymore. I use LogMeIn (free) and it gives me full remote control of the PC - just like you're sitting there. (The video is a tad better with MyHouse, but LogMeIn is acceptable)
And if you're blocked from the LogMeIn.com site, get the LogMeIn Ignition application and run it from a thumb drive. Searching for coupons should result in being able to get the Ignition licence for $19.95/yr. and it's way worth it!.

I agree, however, I think its more of an X10 server issue than a problem with the actual MyHouse program. I haven't gone back to MyHouse since starting using the free version of LogMeIn (https://secure.logmein.com/). I've actually found more places away from home that allow me to use LogMeIn than allow me to use MyHouse. Also MyHouse has a nasty was of saving your password when you exit. Not something you want to happen from a public computer.
