I have two zunes connected to my software. One day, a friend and I connected her Zune to my computer, and as a guest. We tried to put tv shows onto her zune, but an error kept coming up. Many months ago, we had tried the same thing, and we were able to put shows onto her zune, so why did it not work now Eventually, we just connected her zune as a non-guest, so we could put the episodes on. Later, she connected it to her own computer, and she had to re-connect to her computer as a non-guest... but then it deleted the episodes from her zune. How can we put my tv shows onto her zune so they stay on there?

My computer HAD XP and my 120 GB Zune worked just fine. Had a computer problem and system software was upgraded to XP Professional. Had to download upgraded Zune software. Did this. Now my Zune player only recognizes me as a "Guest" and I cannot load any additional songs onto the player. How do I get things back to where they recognize my same computer, but with new software, as the main user of my Zune?

I was having trouble with my pc, so I uninstalled the zune software and now I can´t reinstall it again. Everytime I try I have different troubles. At this point I can open the software and the intro begins but as soon as I click on SKIP INTRO the software closes. It also closed at the end of the intro. How can I solve this HUGE problem. Thanks?
