Hello remster,
maybe you are not able to execute VBScripts. Using Windows XP with actual service packs this could be a problem due to strict firewall settings. The module VIEW makes use of VBS - and DIAdem 9.1 is executing the code in a context that some firewalls or virus scanner assume as dangerous and block.
This issue is known and was solved with the service pack 2, which can be downloaded
here free of charge.
Mind that its a complete DIAdem installer. You will have to deinstall your current version of DIadem before. But then, you can use the SP2 installation in an evaluation mode as well.
