I never installed the CD. I went straight to the website. I am getting the "failed to load error." This is a Vista machine. I've tried a lot of troubleshooting and haven't been able to get it to work. Searching the forums, I see that people have had a hard time fixing this problem. Some say reformat and reinstall. I'm not willing to do a reformat. I'd rather just return the Zune and buy another iPod. I will try installing it on an XP machine before I give up.

Bought one on Woot last time for $100. Now I am having the hardest time getting this thing installed in Vista. It keeps not recognizing it. Ugh.
Download the Zune Software from the website, don't use the CD that came packaged in your box.
