When I hit the green play button, I get:
This program cannot display the webpage.
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
More information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
=========================================================
If I click on the icons for refresh or pause, a popup window titled "Script Error" gives:
An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: 'gs' is undefined.
Code: 0
URL: res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff_web.OC.htm
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Yes No
This is my first time using GS. I'm on Windows Vista, and I have IE9 set as my default browser. I've tried several simple projects and always get the same result.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Is there any workaround? Some other way to test a game?
Am I the only one who's ever had this problem?
Thanks

(reason 1): Sometimes (most times) if you add sound effects in it stops me from test playing (this happens to me so i cant use sound effects)
(reason 2): sometimes it just wont test play and gamesalad crashes.
(reason 3): gamesalad for windows is still very new

Yes, in the GS Creator for Windows, the play button _never_ works for me. It sounds like you have specific circumstances that will crash it for you. I can't make it work, even if I open a new "My Great Project" and hit the Run button. It sounds like I'm missing something in the setup, but I haven't found it yet. I've googled the problem for hours and found many hits, but those mainly dealt with not being able to access the Internet. In this case, I would think that GS would only need to access my local computer.

I worked out the issue after realizing it was trying to hit localhost. I tried to ping localhost and that would not work either.
Issue was my hosts file had entry's in it pointing to 127.0.0.1
So I added
127.0.0.1. Localhost
Saved then reopened Gamesalad and all was good.
I thought that was my problem too, but I fixed it, so localhost works, but still no luck.
I got a response from GS support today, they say they're looking into it. In the meantime they gave me this link to check out:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308260
I went through those steps, but still no luck.
Thanks
