ipod nano freezes everthing
 

Been running into this lately. I plug my ipod into a USB port and the screen freezes. Cntrl>Alt>Del does not respond. My computer won't shut down via the on/off button. The only thing I've been able to do is unplug the computer from the power source.
I'm no genius, but something seems amiss here. When iTunes is open I don't have a problem. But I've set up ipod to automatically open iTunes when I connect. Limewire and my antivirus software are always running if this has anything to do with anything. But I doubt it.
It seems like it's a problem with XP but that's just a guess.
Anybody got any ideas?
I think unplugging the computer from the power source is a bad idea, but that's all I know what to do. Help please.
