i have a couple questions pertaining to FU4WM

1). i sync my zune with one PC (running the old software/firmware) and download songs via the ZMP on another. after using FU4WM and transfering the songs and attempting to sync the new songs to my Zune, i get an error of "For the first sync to this device, you must be logged into the service to register your device". since i'm using the old software, i can't log in. my question is what exactly does the error mean? i'm assuming that it doesn't mean FU4WM didn't work, since i can play the songs in other media players (WMP, WinAmp) and the Properties of the files says they're not protected. or is there something i'm missing elsewhere?

2. from what i've gathered about FU4WM, it doesn't work under Vista. is that true, or is there a work-around i'm unaware of? if it doesn't, is it possible it will at any time? or is there a way to get it to run under a virtual machine installation of XP?

any solutions or points in the right direction are greatly appreciated.
