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.  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.
