If it still fails then your PC configuration is blocking localhost access. The 127.0.0.1 should work when substituted as http://127.0.0.1:8000/virtea9a3d2f/index.htm instead of localhost.

POSSIBLE SCARY STUFF:
In a cmd window try ping localhost & ping 127.0.0.1.If working then fine.
If not, a fix might be to type netsh http add iplisten 127.0.0.1 but don't do that unless you are comfortable.
It could be your hosts file ([COLOR=var(--black-600)]C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts[/COLOR]) doesn't have localhost 127.0.0.1 as an entry or has more than one such entry.

I think it might be safer to contact Xara for advice.

Hi Acorn,

Thanks again for working on this. I don't know too much about tampering with the hosts file, well, enough to screw things up yes. But, I opened it up and copied everything, from top to bottom, that's in there. This might shed some light if anything is wrong. I have pasted it below, exactly as it looked. I feel fine editing it as we see fit. I do see a few 127.0.0.1's in there!? Tazz
