| | Re: itunes install Hi Megstu, I am experiencing the exact same problem that you reported in late dec. Did you ever get it solved, and if so how? I've been at this for a few hours now and I have tried everything on this thread except the last few steps to re-install Vista. Before taking such a drastic step, I'd like to know if it actually worked or whether the solution lies elsewhere.
