Today I tried to set it up on her PC. I installed iTunes; iTunes asked if we wanted to reboot to finsih the install process; I said Yes. <\/p>\n<p>Windows never came back up. I unplugged the iPod and tried again. Nothing. I unplugged everything non-essential (leaving keyboard, mouse and monitor), and tried again. Nothing. I tried booting to the \"Last Known Good\" configuration. Nothing. Tried booting to Safe Mode. Nothing. I searched the web to see if this had happened to anyone else. It has. It's quite common, actually, and has been a problem with iTunes and Win2K since at least 2003.<\/p>\n<p>I called Apple to see if they had a fix. Fifteen minute wait. The first girl had never heard of the problem and gave me to someone else who <i>had<\/i> heard of the problem and who cheerfully suggested I re-install Windows 2000. I declined.<\/p>\n<p>A little more Googling turned up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.versiontracker.com\/php\/feedback\/article.php?story=20031018081018867\">this<\/a>, which suggests a conflict in Win2K between Adaptec's Easy CD Creator v4 (which was installed) and iTunes. Solution: unplug the CD-RW drive, reboot, uninstall iTunes and\/or Adaptec. That will let me boot again. Now to see if I can boot after reinstalling iTunes and reconnecting the CD-RW drive. <\/p>\n<p>... <\/p>\n<p>I can. <\/p>\n<p>Joy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got Mrs Cleek an iPod Nano for Christmas - and wow are they cool looking.
