Now I see he will have to install loads of upgrades to keep working? I definately know he will have a problem with it.So going to return it and get the 32 bit like this one.Besides will be much better to have vista on all pc's.

It STILL froze up on me when I tried to move a TV show I downloaded, ONTO my Video Classic Ipod. I also have trouble ejecting it when it's frozen and I tried updating Windows like another posting suggested and that didn't fix anything either. I have a laptop w/ Vista too obviously.

And in respone to the useless entry from "yousuck" at start of this forum, when you buy a new laptop you are FORCED to have Vista. That person should change their new to "dumbf**k"! I think Itunes should pursue monetary reimbursement from Microsoft to pay back all of us whom have spent money on Itunes buying stuff that we can't even GET TO due to VISTA!! OR they should do something to push MS into fixing ALL Itunes compatibility issues!!

I have 4 other PC's running (Xp, Xp pro) and the airport works fine (Love the Remote program for the Iphone....works great), but we have a Vista machine in the kitchen. Itunes runs fine on this PC, but when I select the airport it does not give an error, just no music plays out the stereo. Any suggestions?

In the past, I've overcome iTunes upgrades with a variety of fixes, but today, nothing's working, and I need help. I don't have SP1 installed because the last upgrade from Windows corrupted my hard drive, so I just don't upgrade. The lack of it forced me to use a compatible version of iTunes, but at least it worked. Today after downloading and installing/re-installing 3 times with reboots, all with my USBs disconnected, my firewall and antivirus off, I'm getting forced restarts "for configuration changes made to take effect." Anyone have ideas on what to do? I've tried removing the sd files and resetting authorization. Didn't work. I'm also interested in getting an old version of iTunes if I have to.
