Is Apple TV compatible with Windows Vista?

I moved my music library to a new PC with Windows Vista OS. I am able to communicate with ATV but cannot sync it.
I removed my old library in ATV via COMPUTERS and was able to have ATV recognize the music library on my new Windows Vista PC, but the sync lasts about 2 seconds.
I went back to my old PC and synced without any problems.
I also updated to the latest versions of iTunes and ATV software.
Are there any known issues with Vista and ATV?

HP Laptop, Windows Vista

Have you re-created the music libarry or just copied it, if the latter the library may be corrupted/confused, and I'd be tempted to keep a copy of teh original and re-build from scratch - iTunes can fall over syncing if the library database isn't quite right (paths might be wrong on a new computer unless all music stored in one place in the library).

AC, Thanks for the reply.
I've been trying to make this work for 3 days now. So I'm not certain just how I made the transfer to the new PC. I think I made the music folder a shared file and then exported it to the new PC.
It would not be too difficult to redo it if I could get it right.
What would be the best way to create the library on my new PC?
