Default Problem with Vista

Hey,
I'm having some minor problems with windows vista. I am running iTunes 8. Every time i open it up it says, "Please wait while windows configures iTunes" and then it makes me restart. If I run it as administrator it acts like its the first time opening iTunes and searches my hard drive for music. UAC is off.
Similarly when i right click, it windows configures Adobe acrobat 8.

Does anyone know any solutions to these problems???


Thanks,

AklFlash

Yeah. Use something other than Vista. Vista sucks ass. I'm about ready to upgrade back to XP.

Gimme just a sec and I'll have an Apple Genius guy answer this for you.

Guess that's my cue. Try uninstalling and reinstalling as an administrator. Also try creating a different user and installing/launching under that. Other than that, it would appear to be more of a Vista problem than an iTunes problem. And that is unfortunately outside of my realm of troubleshooting. Best of luck to you! Remember to check out the awesome new visualizer when you get it up and running.

EDIT: Also make sure that, after you uninstall, you go through and delete any sort of extraneous folders that get left behind after the uninstall.

The user "aklflash" has a lot of random posts online ... all single posts, none especially spamming, but all pointing back to his website either directly or via a sig line.

Spam? Not as it is. But definately SEO gaming.
