OK, I upgraded to iTunes 7.3 today (without thinking!!!) and after it asked for a restart, I get the standard XP boot screen and then a black screen. I can get into safe mode but F*** all else. Anybody got any ideas?
Is iTunes set to start up automatically? If it is, you could go and run msconfig in safe mode and disable it from starting up automatically, that might solve the issue.
In the end I removed the settings from the registry which let me restart normally and then reinstalled. After trawling through loads of ipod related forums it would seem that itunes 7.3 has more problems. Messing up libraries and the like. Best to be avoided at the moment. Oh it borks PC and MAC
Yeah, its kinda weird. They've moved albums with numbers at the beginning of the titles to the end of the list (if you sort by album name) and the word "The" is now ignored when sorting by album to (which I generally don't like). So for example the "8 Mile Soundtrack" should be at the beginning of my list, it's now at the end, and albums like "The Best of U2" and now found under B for "Best of U2, The" which although is the correct way to sort it, is most irritating.
Apparently it also installs an iPhone service, even if you don't have an iPhone. Yay for wasted resources imo.
Yeh i noticed the thing about it changing libraries around, any artist tht begins with a number is now at the bottom anyway i can change this back to how it was?
Oh man I didn't even notice it shifted all my artists with numbers at the beginning to the bottom...good call.
