Help for all frustrated windows itune 5 downloaders

I recently downloaded itunes 5 and couldn't open it even though the download was successful. I messed around for hours getting very frustrated to try and make it work. I eventually found that by turning my Norton antivirus firewall off and turning on my windows firewall instead, I could open itunes! I don't know if it is just norton antivirus that affects itunes so others might too. Hope this is helpful!

Sorry, Bill, but there is no way to run iTunes under Windows 98. For just synchronizing tracks with your iPod, you could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these, so I can't make any recommendations. Note that these applications cannot purchase tracks from the iTunes Music Store which is only possible through iTunes.

I strongly suggest you consider upgrading your version of Windows, though. Windows 98 is no longer supported by Microsoft and it's going to get harder and harder to find applications that will work under 95/98/ME.

Hope this helps.
