I have used Vista x64 for years, and always had iTunes and Quicktime installed.

Never had a problem.

Did you install "As Administrator"?

 

[dutchfarmer1]

um Im not sure, how to i go about it that way?

 

[lucasbytegenius]

Right-click the installer and click "Run as Administrator".

 

[dutchfarmer1]

Right-click the installer and click "Run as Administrator".

If im the only user on my computer is that enough to be the Admin? or is this a wonderful quality of vista?

 

[dutchfarmer1]

Ok took off some data virus thing, un installed then re-installed as admin, and STILL doesnt work.

You could throw Vista away and try shiny new Win 7

 

[lucasbytegenius]

Really helpful, Dramen.
Is this the latest version of QuickTime/iTunes?

 

[Dramen]

Sorry heh,

If I remember correctly I had major issues with itunes on Vista, but that was before any of the service packs were released.

 

[lucasbytegenius]

well, I don't use itunes, nor Vista, so I don't know what else to try. So which sp worked?

 

[Dramen]

Well I guess sp 2. The thing with Vista though it's known for compatibility issues, I know some who never had problems at all, but I definitely had issues with itunes with the first release of Vista HP 32 bit. But after all the updates and service packs installed, plus I think itunes was tweaked to cope with Vista, a clean reinstall eventually resolved the issue. I just kept problem solving and eventually got there through trial and error. Sorry I can't really identify an exact method though.
