http://gizmodo.com/5047721/itunes-8-causin...for-vista-users QUOTE Looks like iTunes 8 is really not playing so well with Windows. Users of both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista are reporting getting the blue screen of death whenever they plug in an iPod or iPhone. Downgrading back down to 7.7 appears to solve the problem, but not without some weird, but solvable, app-erasing hijinks.
Matt says that doing a clean install (completely uninstalling your previous version of iTunes before loading up iTunes 8) has resulted in no BSOD issues for him on Vista 64-bit, but that hasn't been tested by the public at large yet. Apple's asking for dump files to figure out where the problem's coming from, but until they post an update, I predict rioting! Mayhem! Pillaging of Apple stores all around the country! Or just a bunch of Windows-based iTunes users grumbling into the night about how all the fancy schmancy graphics in the world can't make up for crappy software testing. Anybody from the Vista side facing this? Try full uninstall of the previous version, and then download the .exe from Apple.com. Dont use the updater.

The article states Vista, bro. No mention on XP, which I assume should be fine. Plus, if you're still doing pwnages or anything involving iTunes, it is safer not to upgrade to 8.

Dont use the updater. i'm currently using vista home premium and installation went smoothly on the first run. had since synchronised for more than 5 times to conduct some personal experiments.

I assume you download the .exe from the Apple website and did a full uninstall of the previous version? That should cut down the problems to a minimum.
Damn, where is that e_trade guy's number? I need to buy Heroes and Battlestar Galactica season shows.

Damn, where is that e_trade guy's number? I need to buy Heroes and Battlestar Galactica season shows. yeah, the package was from apple website BUT i didn't uninstall the previous version. hence, i reckon that it is by sheer luck. try finding for e_trade guy's number as he has posted it here before; you gotta work for it, string! |
