    I was hoping one of these would fix my only USB related problem. My Zune won’t work on my Vista desktop since I installed SP1. I keep getting the drivers not installed error when I plug it in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the firmware. It’s not a huge issue since I sync it with my Dell laptop, but I’d like to charge it with my desktop.
