Error 1202 with iTunes Store and Windows Vista

When I try to redeem music on iTunes Store, or access my account, etc. I receive "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).

I have read many similar posts and tried many fixes (checked time/date on my computer, made sure LAN proxy settings is unchecked, turned off my Norton firewall, tried to access iTunes Store in safe mode, etc.). None of these worked. Please help as we would like to purchase music from the iTunes store and have done so successfully in the past on this computer.

Dell, Windows Vista

I finally worked it out, Install Pingfu Iris this lasts for 3 days, basically install it set up an account connect using the standard proxy settings go into internet options change your proxy setting to localhost/127.0.0.1 port:2020 open itunes and click redeem allowing you to get past the errors, if it says you need to contact apple support to complete this transaction change your proxy setting back to default and push next without closing itunes, this will allow you to get to the billing and payment information screen using the internet USA tunnel then using the Australian internet connection to complete the purchase, only problem with this is after the 3 days is up and you still need to set up more accounts you need to re-image the computer or use another to activate gift cards as the program only allows one install per computer(os)

I am so glad i have finally worked out exactly the right process to activate accounts so i can legally install apps onto my School's Ipads, i can see why alot of people just set up one account and sync all 40+ ipads as it only requires doing this once. Doing that though is completely against ToU ToS and Copywrite all together and you may be fined per app per ipad X amount of $$$

I cant thank apple support for any of my findings as they where no help at all.

i just discovered that for me the -1202 error was originated by the Speedbit Download Accelerator

as soon as I exited the download accelerator there was no longer a problem.

when i opened speedbit download accelerator AFTER opening iTunes there was no problem either.

Already did this, and also correct my time and date setting.

Still got iTunes error 1202.

I still can buy and download though by clickin directly after using search in iTunes.

My problem is that I can't access iTunes Store home and can't click any apps to see the description, review, etc.

Trying the redeem trick didn't help either.
