CPU at 100% with Windows Vista, i've read the forums

Kent, Yep that was the point I was trying to make. Though something this
small and lite, I wouldn't expect to need a re-write, but if they changed
just enough in Vista, then it makes since. I looked at the website and it
has the compatible with vista sticker, I just have to make sure I'm running
that version I guess

I searched google for a vista codec pack, and I found one. it works REALLY
well not a single problem! but still the whole waiting to be able to
have all my old software back sucks, lol. Thanks guys for all your help!

But still, if anyone can figure out why when I plug in my iPod into my PC
the CPU usage goes crazy! thx
