Vista - Vista, Itunes and Adobe

I am having several issues with Vista. First, in Itunes, when I am
downloading I can no longer resume when the internet connection is
interrupted. As I am in Iraq this occurs often. It resets back to zero and
restarts. My connection is slow and unreliable. I can't figure out how to fix
this so it restarts where it left off like it did with XP.

Second, I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS 2.3. I installed it last
week and had to deinstall. It will not completely deinstall, there is a
hidden file in the installshield folder that is says I do not have permission
to delete. How is this possible? I installed it and I am the administrator??
It also tells me when I try to install that is does not support the
characters in the program files (86), which it did last week. Anyone have any
ideas? I would appreciate the help. I am about ready to set my computer
outside the gate and let someone blow it up.

Last I heard, ITunes wasn't compatible with Vista - so installing it can
cause all sorts of problems that you haven't anticipated. We have ITunes on
the computer at work and it's a real PITA to use because of this.

I've heard of similar problems with Photoshop - but am not real familiar
with it.

I run itunes on my vista setup every day. There is an update from apple
if you need it.

Nichole

There are updates available for iTunes on the apple website.

Adobe just stated that they will not be providing updates to make their
legacy applications compatible with Vista.

Also, make sure that you use Windows Update to get the latest compatibility
updates.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your input. The itunes is mostly working, just the
occassional missing music and the downloads not working exactly right. I am
very disappointed about the Adobe. I guess I shouldn't have waited so long to
purchase it. I wonder what adobe thinks they are going to accomplish.
