Hi!
New to Zune here! I've down loaded the new Zune 2.5 software to my computer yesterday after buying the 80 gb Zune and everytime I'd start Zune it would blue screen and automatically reboot.(I have Windows XP SP2). Then I read the thread about downloading .Net 3.0 in advanced Windows Update and I did, then things began working ....the Zune program would load and I connected my 80gig Red Zune device and downloaded the 2.5 firmware and I thought all was good. NOT!!!! Now when I start the Zune program, after 5 minutes or so if my mouse and keyboard "FREEZE UP" and I have to reboot the computer. I've done this a dozen times now. I can navigate the program, marketplace is good, my album art is cool, but I was playing music from my collection tonite and it froze again!!!!!! Seems like 5 to 10 minutes is all that it takes for EVERYTHING to freeze.
So, now I read that if you had Windows firewall "OFF" that that might cause an issue. So should I uninstall the program and reinstall with Windows firewall on???? Will this maybe solve the freeze issue???? And will Unzoone uninstall the 2.5 version????? Help!
