Doesn't open IE while start a new test

Hi,
Thanks for creating such an amazing tool. I want to setup my private web page test on Vista OS (32 bit) according to https://sites.google.com/a/webpagetest.org/docs/private-instances
http://www.webpagetest.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=375

I have installed the server and have it getting right. Test agent is configured on the same machine with server. dummynet installed and blast.exe can be launched.

The problem is after submit a url in the home page, it shows runing and after 10 seconds it returns “The test completed but there were no successful results.” please see attached screenshot.
BTW, i didn’t see IE launched to perform a test after submit url.

here is the log of blaste.exe:

Did you install dummynet on the test machine? What you are describing is what we usually see when dummynet isn’t installed.

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply Pat. I did install dummynet. Is there any way to check if dummynet working well?

I got this fixed by disable UAC. thanks also!
