OK, so today I tried booting up iTunes to put some new music on my iPod I had just ripped off of a CD. I clicked on the shortcut, and nothing ever came up. Same thing was happening with Spybot, and a re-install fixed that, so I reinstalled iTunes. Same problem. So I tried installing it to my C:\ instead of my second HDD. Same problem. Also, whenever I go into My Computer and click on the J:\ (My Ipod) it just freezes. (This same problem has always been happening, but occasionally only failing when I tried transferring files) So then, while waiting for iTunes to boot and My Computer to unfreeze, I unplugged my iPod to listen to it since I was very bored indeed. BOOM, all of a sudden, 'My Computer' unfroze, and iTunes instantly popped up.
So, iTunes and everything works fine now, providing the iPod is unplugged. If I plug it in while iTunes is running, it does nothing for about 4 seconds, then freezes, and of course, unfreezes as soon as I unplug the iPod.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? Oh yeah, and this is likely the cause of most if not, ALL the problems my PC has been having since I built it. I hasn't frozen all day today since I unplugged the iPod, and remember that my iPod has been plugged in from when I first posted my newly built machine until I discovered this today.
