ITunes Freezes when it Plays a Rented Movie

Now that iTunes allows you to rent movies, I decided to try out watching movies on a computer. I upgraded iTunes to 7.6.0.29 on a Windows XP SP2 system and chose a couple of movies. When I tried to play them, though, iTunes froze. Fortunately, the CPU didn’t get taken over by the process. I searched for a solution and tried some suggestions in Apple’s support forum, including re-installing Quicktime. Nothing worked, though. I ultimately gave up and requested a refund using the “report a problem” link in the iTunes confirmation. My credit card was credited within a day of sending the email.

Now, I am ever so patiently waiting for a fix to iTunes!
