Blue Screen Crash of Vista by iTunes

Hello

After replacing my X60s with an X61s I can no longer add mp4 movies to the iTunes library: The system crawls first, and after a while it crashes to a blue screen.

The Web is full of issues around the Intel Matrix Driver and iTunes (or Quicktime) and offers many solutions, but none work so far except putting the X61s into "Compatibility" mode instead of AHCI.

Does anyone here have a better solution?

I already have the latest Intel Matrix Driver (directly from Intel, as the one on the Thinkpad site is older), I've upgraded the harddisk firmware (it's a Samsung Spinpoint HM250JI), and of course I have installed all fixes available for Vista.

Thanks! Martin

In case anyone is interested: Contrary to all advice on the internet (including from Intel themselves) I downgraded the Intel Matrix Storage driver down from Intel's 7.8 to the "official" 7.0 from the Lenovo site.

So far the problems have disappeared.
