iTunes 9.0.1 Crashes when select Podcast tab
I'm running iTunes 9.0.1 on Windows XP Pro. When I connect my Nano, then select it's entry in iTunes, everything looks good. But when I then click the Podcasts tab, iTunes crashes ... every time. I've tried repairing QuickTime & iTunes, but it's no help. I don't think this is the first time I've done this with this version of iTunes, but I'm not certain. I've googled & found references to this problem, but the only solution, which doesn't work for everybody, is the QuickTime repair.
Any suggestions? I really need to update this Nano, so I have podcasts to listen to when I run!
BTW, I was planning on updating my iPhone with 3.0.? to 3.1.2 ... but with iTunes unstable I'm holding off ... this poses other problems!
Thanks.
