I just install Snapstream version 1.1 (I had previously removed an older copy before)and when I double click the icon recieve "page cannot be displayed". I've reinstalled serveral times, ran a netstat -a -n -p tcp and found that it's listening on the correct port 127.0.0.1:8129. I am however able to hit the machine from another computer, but when I run it locally no luck... Can anyone help?

try hitting http://localhost:8129/ -- some systems don't recognize the loopback address http://127.0.0.1:8129/. We switched from using http://localhost to 127.0.0.1 in the latest version b/c localhost didn't work for some but this decision just appears to have flip-flopped the problem.
So http://localhost:8129/ works -- you can favorite or create a desktop shortcut for this.

...and obviously, we plan to have this fixed as soon as possible to eliminate the problem.

I've tried all of the ways listed and still no luck. I still get page can not be displayed. I have also check my hosts file and it does have correct information in it so localhost should work fine.
Do you have any sort of software firewall or some sort of similar product installed?

If your question is do I have a software firewall running on my local machine then my answer would be no. I am not running anytype of security locally (no ipsec and/or IPfiltering). I am however running a linksys router for my internet connection, but that would only effect me if I was trying hit my machine externally. If I'm on the local machine attempting to get to snapstream PVS there should be no need to hit my firewall. I am still having no luck. Do you think my previous installation has anything to do with this?
I'm not certain what the problem is here for you. Can you post or send us the contents of the activity log? The PVS automatically establishes a network loopback connection to itself upon startup, so if this is working, the problem must lie in your browser or somewhere along those lines.
Couple of things to try:
Different web browser.
See if you have any success looping back to yourself on another port, like port 80.
