itunes in vista

Well done. What a great help.
My other problem is that i'm not a sad loser who has nothing better to do
with his time than send pointless replies to complete strangers.

You would appear to be the ideal person to solve this one.

Outch!! Nice reply.. :p

Listen, um gonna give you multiple solutions and c f any1 works..

If you're using the latest version of iTunes "7.0.1.8", try to unistall it,
install the old version import your music, then upgrade to the new version..

If that doesn't work, try to delete the iTunes library file "Located in the
iTunes music folder", and import music again..

If that doesn't work, try to check the drive where your music files are
using the windows scanner.. If you don't know how, right click the drive,
click "Properties", click "Tools", click "Check Now...", check on "Scan for
and attemp..", click "Start", a msg should be displayed sayin tht windows
will schedule a scan next time you start windows, restart the computer, a
scan should start before windows starts, it might find some errors in the
system file and fix them..

Hope I was any kind of help..

Take it easy..

Hey,

Which of those solutions helped? I am having the same issue with my Windows
Ultimate install, although oddly enough I can import fine in the seam version
of itunes on my Windows Home Premium on my laptop and both are clean
installs.
