Maybe you should just give up on XP 64bit and get either XP 32bit or Vista 32/64bit?

NO 64-BIT XP SUPPORT.

i paid the extra money an 80GB zune. i paid hundreds of dollars for 64-bit xp. i shouldnt be made to feel like some dirty criminal...digging through forums, searching for hacked drivers (which dont exist) to find something that works.

im not running linux or mac, im running windows xp. it is downright pitiful that microsoft doesnt support zune on 64-bit xp, especially when it was released 3 years after 32-bit xp.

i bought the zune because it has a widescreen display, and actually plays decent looking movies. potential zune buyers may want to wait for another widescreen media player, or just get a creative zen.

@Daddy_Spank: i have 4GB RAM, which is only supported by 64-bit versions of windows. now even if vista x64 had drivers for all my hardware (which it doesnt), didnt crash because of the poorly written drivers that actually are available for my remaining hardware (which it does), or supported the nearly dozen software applications i either prefer or flat-out NEED to use for my job, youre telling me the best solution is to spend several hundred dollars on the worst operating system microsoft has ever released?

there is no mysterious compatibility issue here; its a simple driver. microsoft needs to stop dragging their asses and release a working driver for 64-bit xp/2003. period.

He said XP 64-bit support, not Vista. There is a difference. This program will not work on XP 64. Microsoft basically dumped that OS the day it was released though, it has never been supported well at all.

Other than that unfortunate issue it works fine on supported systems. I like it much better than iTunes.
