    Looks like vista is very unstable? I tried to connect my new ipod video 80gb to sz270, the vista is upgrade installed. Yesterday, I tried to let vist search the driver at c:\windows\system32 but can't find it. So it can't recognize the ipod.

    Today, I tried by doing same thing. This time it worked! The same thing happend when I connect my usb driver. This looks like vista is unstable? You need to try many times?

    Vista isn't the problem...the iPod is. Apple knows about it and is trying to fix the driver problems. Can't be too long before they're straight.

    This always happens with new OSes...always there's hardware vendors that have to change their drivers a lot.

    I didn't get anything from apple those days. I only upgrade the itune to the newest edition a week ago. So I didn't change anything. Hope today my old logitech for notebook web camera will work.

    7.1 still has a few problems I hear...I'll try to find the article that says that Apple recommends users wait to upgrade.
