Picky Ipod Touch

So after multiple tries at restoring on my Acer Aspire x1200 computer, and a failure every time, i decided to try it on my dads laptop.

It worked perfectly on his! The restore went swimmingly, and everything is accessible and everything! I initially thought it was because my system is x64 Vista Premium, but his is x64 Basic...

When i try to restore, i get errors like 1611, 2, 1 and its just generally painful.

Now to those who are wondering why I can't just use my Dads laptop all the time, he needs it for work, and it would be extremely horrible to move my entire music library bits by bits onto his computer.

My ipod video and first gen Nano work perfectly though, so I'm reallly confused as to whats going on
