So far my Vista 5385 experience has been great - the only hitch has been the Partntal Control. I have four profiles set up on my system. I wanted to try the Parental Controls after she accidentally mistyped her favorite website name and came up with a hard core porn page instead.
At first the controls seemed to work fine. The problem was first noticed when she tried to use her Outlook Express. It kept hanging whenever it tried to connect & disconnect from the mail server. Any troubleshooting I did was to no avail until I checked into the Parental Controls. Once they were turned off everything worked fine.
I had them set for her to access any program on my computer, so I canot see that being an issue. The only restrictions put in place were to filter out porn, hate & other nasty stuff you don't want an eleven year old getting into.
Suggestions on how to fix this or can anybody point out what I did wrong?

Parental controls causes Outlook Express to be constipated.

Don't think it should affect Outlook Express, do you mean the new Windows Mail program?
Also where did you get 5385 from?
Probably a bug, most testers here would not be using parental controls at this stage of development, I will try it later on my test box and see what happens.

Yes - I did mean Windows Mail. Ten years of calling it Outlook die hard.
My 5385 build was shipped straight from the biys & girls in Redmond - so it is the real McCoy.

OK Hagar,
Bear with me I am re-installing Vista for the umpteenth time tonight, I will try Win Mail with Parental Controls tomorrow and post back, unless somebody else gets here first with an answer.
BTW I am sure its the real thing, the public Beta is 5384 and the latest build available to developers / professionals only is 5456, 5385? new one on me.
I will install 5384 so we are on nearly the same version.

Hey Jonah!
Bug report filed. FYI, tried the same thing when I set up my son's user profile and Windows Mail.
Same results.
As long as Parental Controls were on - Windows Mail would hang.
As soon as it was removed - it worked fine.
Keep me posted on how you fare out.
