Hulu Desktop crashing regularly in Vista x64

Man, this is getting annoying. It's happening when my rig is and isn't overclocked. Anyone else having this problem? Maybe I have to revert to the browser-based Hulu?

Rig specs are in sig below.

Just right click on the "BOXEE ICON" and go on the Compatibility tab, check "Run this program in Compatibility mode for" and click on "Windows XP (SERVICE PACK 2)" and also check on "Run this program as an administrator" make sure your "icon" is on the desktop, sure fix the crashing problem. Program not made for 64bit, that why it crashing. (Same on hula desktop)

I'll give it a whirl.

I run hulu through a shortcut using ObjectDock... I don't use icons on my desktop. So when I right click on the icon and go to Compatibility, I'm able to change the compatibility, but I'm not given a run as administrator checkbox. Sure, I can click it each time by right clicking and selecting, but... meh, there's really no reason for this to be complicated, and just because I use ObjectDock shouldn't exclude me from being able to get Hulu running how it needs to run.

I'll do what I can to change the source exe file to run in compatibility mode and as administrator.

That dock might be the problem, you sure get the administrator box, I know it won't work right without that being check, for what ever reason, had this problem with both hulu and boxee.
