iTunes 8 'take down' Windows Vista

The latest version of iTunes software has been identified as the cause of Windows Vista 'standing dead like Tu Hai' whenever the iPod or iPhone is connected to the PC.

Specifically, iPod and iPhone users say that whenever the device is connected to a PC, Vista will hang up and display the 'blue screen of death' (BSOD - Blue screen of death). This is an extremely serious system error that forces users to restart the system.

An iPod user said the error started when he upgraded iTunes to the latest version - iTunes 8. ' After a successful upgrade, connect the iPod to the PC, Vista displayed a blue screen of death. Please. I still let the iPod connect to the PC, restart the system, the situation has not changed. Vista still hangs completely . '

In another article on the Apple support forum, a user named 'Mike de Awesome' identified that an error could be due to incompatible or conflicting USD drivers (iTunes) drivers with iTunes 8 with certain parts of Vista.

Some other users reported that BSOD errors were less likely to occur when they removed all other devices connected to the PC via USB - especially printers, HP scanners, keyboards, Mouse, camera of Logitech International SA .

But there are still users who don't use such devices and still have to face the 'dead blue screen'. ' I did a new installation last night. I do not use any HP, Logitech, printer drivers, but errors still occur , 'users are named' bryankaras'.

The "blue screen of death" error has occurred once with Vista. That is the case with the version of iTunes 7.7 and only happens with 64-bit versions of Vista. At this point Apple recommends that users upgrade to Vista Service Pack 1 to fix the problem.

This time, Apple has not had any reaction to the above information.
