iTunes works fine, but when the new iPod Video is installed and connected,
it syncs and then freezes my system, can't disconnect unless rebooting the
system. Under Computer Management>System, I found this:

Event Source: PlugPlayManager
Event ID: 256
Description: Timed out sending notification of device interface change to
window of "program or service name and/or GUID."

I'm using Dell 4700, Pentel 4 3.0GHz, 1.5 GB of RAM, running WinXP Home
Version 2002, SP2, w/McAfee Virus Scan, and Microsoft Antispyware Beta, and
I have tried running with all other sys-tray items deactivated, including
these, all with equal results. I have also uninstalled iPod, iTunes, and
QuickTime, and reinstalled with stand-along QuickTime, same results.

Any help appreciated.
thx-
c.
