The Slimtray application runs under the account of the logged in user.
However, the slimserver service is set to run under the system account.
Unfortunately, under Vista, normal users are not allowed to start
services. Try yourself by opening a command prompt and type 'net start
slimserver' and you will be met with 'Access denied'. There might be a
setting under Local Security Policies but I haven't found it.

If you open up the services snap-in (Click Run... and type
services.msc) you can start it there. That solved it for me and after
that the web page works fine.

Another alternative could be to change the slimserver service to run
under your own account. I haven't tested that though.

What is the purpose of the tray application BTW? Why not remove it from
the startup folder and change the service settings so that Slimserver
starts with Windows? The only thing that really works for me under
Vista is the shortcut at the top to the web page but that can be done
with a standard shortcut anyway.
