So I'm going to take a wild guess that they aren't and go through a few steps that could solve it. So you could restart Vista 32 bit, hold down F8 and choose the option about letting you install unsigned drivers. 64bit Vista doesn't let you install unsigned drivers out of the box. When running the setup program, you shouldn't need to turn off UAC otherwise anything running (including malware) in your session could get admin rights without your say so. Instead you could right click on the setup program, and choose "run as administrator" - that way only that process is running as admin. Some antivirus and antispyware software may also stop things installing, so choose a snooze option of both of those things.

I can see iPhone in XP on this dual boot, not in Vista. UN-REinstalled iTunes, as suggested. User Control was already off. Still MIA I thought Ihad found the answer!

When Windows says the the drive is not compatible does it give you an option to "continue installing anyway"? If it does, go ahead and continue with the installation and it should work fine. Otherwise, I'd suggest looking in Apple's Discussion Boards for more information on what you might try. I don't have any Windows machine here to give it a spin. Hope you figure it out!

I thought I was getting into the "future" as, I just bought my iphone. Never having had an ipod or anything apple, I was excited to test it out and see what all the rage is about. Unfortunately, I too have the 64bit windows vista, which has been a nightmare trying to get my adobe creative suite to work, but it is even more upsetting that I cannot use my iphone on my own computer! All I can say is that Apple and Microsoft really need to get their act together on this one. It is very frustrating! Let me know if anyone hears of a solution soon!

My PC "cannot" find the driver for the iPhone. I did as you said (uninstalled iTunes, turn off UAC [BTW named: User Account Control], installed latest version of iTunes) and ... nothing. Still got the same driver issue screwing things up. Argh! All I want to do is get the photos out of my Camera Roll and on to my PC without having to email them to myself one at a time. Maybe I'll have to give in and buy a Mac. Thanks for the blog though - I'm sure it's been a great help to loads of people. :-) Great blog, but … not a happy ending for me.

It should have everything you need to use an iPhone on Windows. Tracy: If you are on Vista, there is a search box on your control panel. So click your Windows button (bottom left hand side of your screen), click Control Panel, then do a search for User Access Control, and it should be one of the results. I couldn't find it either, but that is what I did. ste: You need to download the latest version of iTunes and install that. It should have everything you need to use an iPhone on Windows.
