I have the program running on Vista 64 and always get a violation message on closing. And sometimes when trying to load a song, but it goes away and everything works fine. I can take the same hard drive and run in on XP and never have a problem. It's a Vista thing for me.

The only other time I had problems on an external hard drive with this was directly related to the power output of the USB port in question. Some heavy cables solved this, and some computer were fine. (I have 4 computers). Note that the same computers that my blackberry will not charge and throw me an error message about there's not enough voltage to charge it, are the ones that cause me grief with the external hard drive. And that is only some of the ports, there is usually 1 port which is fine and the others are not. Someone posted that if you get an external multi USB port with it's own power supply plug, that that solves a host of problems. My big Vista HP 10 gig 1 terabyte system with HDMI monitor has a usb to the monitor which has 2 more ports and that will not run the hard drive, nor will it charge my Blackberry.

Sometimes on an external hard drive the problems are with the cables and voltage, and again on Vista the operating system seems broken. That's my take. Why can I run the same hard drive on Xp without any problem or error message, when Vista with UAC shut off throws me constant errors. I'm thinking of switching my main system to Windows 7, and would like to know if anyone else is having problems with that?
