Cool zune soft doesnt recognize device

Hi, i finally got the new zune software installed.

The problem is now, that my software doesnt recognize the device.

The device has the 1.4 firmware.

This is the scenario

I connect my zune, i get the bling BLING!

New hardware detected

I choose automatic find the drivers

I get an error message

"the specified service does not exist as an installed service"

thats it.

What should i do?

i tried:

diferent port. diferent usb cord.

remove software and installing again, resetting pc and zune.

thanks for the answers.

should i format my zune 30?

first of all, never use the Windows hardware installer on Zune, it won't work. It can't even find the drivers to run the Zune. What you do is:
open up Zune software.
Plug in your zune
on your zune, hold [back] button and [up] button at the same time. It should restart your Zune and the Zune soft will detect it.
