My good friend Ed Bott <A href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=536" mce_href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=536">dug into the situation</A> and discovered what might be causing the issue - it appears to be a problem with a driver that is installed when users also install iTunes 8. Unfortunately iTunes is known for pushing out components that Windows users don't necessarily want. <P>Fortunately, not all is lost. Due to the uproar from unsatisfied customers, Apple <A href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=543" mce_href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=543">issued an updated version of iTunes 8</A> that fixes the problem (sort of).&nbsp; You'll need to uninstall the broken version of ITunes 8 and Apple Mobile Devices support, and then use your Apple Software Updater to reinstall iTunes 8 and get it working the right way.&nbsp; </P> <P>Anyways you might be asking why I even installed iTunes in the first place and it's because I am a software fiend and love playing with new software regardless of who it's by. But just so you know - I'm a diehard Zune&nbsp;user myself ;-)</P><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://windowsteamblog.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=501372" width="1" height="1">Windows VistaFeatured NewsEd BottiTunes 8AppleProblem
