Then I uninstalled iTunes. Rebooted the PC. Re-installed iTunes 7.3.1 (probably not the smartest thing to do...kids don't try this at home!) Tried syncing again. No luck. Then I opened Outlook. I get a box saying that Outlook is not my default mail client. What?! Now I'm utterly confused because I know it was set as such before. It asks if I want to set it as my default....I hit "yes" and now everything syncs great.

In the future I will be reluctant to install any iTunes updates just for "bug fixes."

How do you get an older version of iTunes (7.3.1)? I think I may want to try and go back to the previous version.
