The software required for iPhone is not installed "Thread" Vista/OS

"The software required for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."

Is the error a lot of us are getting. Myself personally i've deleted and installed Itunes like 50 times all to no avail. 'ive disconnected everythign except the iphone keyboard monitor and mouse. I've tried booting then plugging in... plugging in and then booting.. Nothing.

I have Windows Vista ultimate 64bit.

Core 2 Duo, Windows Vista, 64bit Vista

I hear ya brotha. Apple just let us know when - like July, August, or whenever. Just knowing gives you hope.

However for me, in the absence of knowledge or any communicae, and rather than have this thing sit on my desk and make me any more unproductive than I already am (as I stare at it and search the internet for hours on end for a patch, a fix, anything)... I'm taking mine back to the store today.

I need to put this eye candy out of my mind, and move on. Until, that is, that I stumble on some newswire about it being compatible with 64bit.

Somebody ring me when it is.
Talk to you all later - on some future version of the iPhone!

Does anyone know if Microsoft Virtual PC supports USB functions of its host computer?
If it does, this might be a resolution for those running Vista 64bit.
I use it for a game that will only run in Windows XP on my Vista 32 bit machine.

Edit - I just googled this question, and while it is not fully supported, it looks like there is a way to get USB to work under MS Virtual PC. If you are really computer savvy and running Vista 64bit, maybe do a bit of research and give this a shot.
MS Virtual PC can be downloaded free from their site. But you will need your own copy of XP.
