iTunes 8.0 + Vista = BSOD
Looking to get iTunes 8.0? Better hold off on that idea if you’re using Windows Vista. Users of Microsoft’s latest operating system are reporting that the new version of iTunes is causing blue screens of death. I guess that’s one way to describe a killer app.
As soon as an iPod or iPhone is plugged into the PC, Vista crashes and shows the “blue screen of death” (BSOD), the critical error screen on a blue background that requires a reboot to recover, users said. The errors began showing up immediately after updating iTunes to Version 8.0, which Apple released Tuesday as part of its iPod refresh.
So hold off on upgrading until the smoke clears, folks. BSODs don’t have the word “death” attached to them for nothing.
