darn, I just looked this up and there are ways to turn off those pop-ups and stuff without turning of the user account control thing but of course it isn't supported with Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, or Windows Vista Home Premium...

Oh well, no sense in crying over what I can't change.

I was able to download the software, but cannot download any songs.

I have the sme problem with MSN games - I can download but then can't get the game to load and work.

I am very frustrated.

If you have persistent download issues, you might need to configure your firewall, Internet security package or web acceleration software to allow iTunes traffic

iTunes for Windows: Connection Issues when using Internet Filters, Accelerators , or Firewalls

* Last Modified on: October 13, 2006

* Article: 93434

Software that affects the way your Windows-compatible computer sends and receives information on the Internet can cause errors when accessing the iTunes Store, or it can prevent access to the store entirely.

Symptom

You can't access the iTunes Store, or certain parts of it are unavailable. This includes:

* Downloading content (music, videos, or games)

* iPod software updates

* Using the CDDB

* Getting album artwork

Products affected

* iTunes for Windows

* Privacy filter software

* Ad filter software

* Internet accelerator software

* Internet firewall software and hardware

Solution

Many connection issues can be resolved by configuring internet filtering software to recognize the iTunes application and the iTunes Store addresses (listed below).

You can configure your Internet software to allow iTunes to access the Internet. If you're using Norton Personal Firewall or Norton Internet Security, you will need to enable iTunes 7 in your Firewall settings.

For information on configuring Norton Software, please visit Symantec's website.

You should also make sure that the following iTunes Store internet addresses are added as trusted domains to any filtering software that may be running:

* phobos.apple.com

* phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net

If you have McAfee Personal Firewall Plus installed, this article will help you configure it.

Some iTunes for Windows users with the McAfee Personal Firewall Plus installed may display a -3221 error message when you try to access the iTunes Store using iTunes for Windows. If this happens, change the permission level for iTunes and iTunesHelper to allow full access.

This should allow iTunes and iTunesHelper to both send and receive data from the iTunes Store.

More information on changing permissions can be found in the McAfee Personal Firewall Plus User's Guide.

did you do an upgrade to Vista or was it a clean install ??

To make sure that you don't have any trouble syncing your iPod or playing iTunes store purchased music when upgraded to Vista from Windows 2000 or XP, follow the steps below:

1. First step is to deauthorize all iTunes Store accounts. Click here to see how.

2. Its highly recommended to do a clean install of Windows Vista rather than upgrading it from other OS.

3. Download and Upgrade to iTunes 7.1 if you haven't yet done that.

4. After installing iTunes, open it and from the menu bar, click Store -> Authorize Computer.

Vista was preloaded on my new computer, so its 'clean'

Thanks Marilyn, I'll give your suggestions a try later since I am currently at work!

1. On the Start menu, click All Programs.

2. Click Accessories.

3. Right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator from the shortcut menu.

4. When the User Account Control dialog appears, click Continue.

5. At the command prompt type the following:regsvr32 vbscript.dll
