    At last! It works :]

    I finally got it to jailbreak!

    Prior to this, I was running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP2 and redsn0w would say it's 'Done!' but my iPod Touch 2G would remain at a black screen.

    After numerous attempts with Run as Administrator, Compatability mode, Lib-USB and what-not, I gave up and decided to switch to Windows XP to see if it works.

    Miraculously, on my Pentium III Laptop with Windows XP, it works! (Don't ask why it's a Pentium III)

    I draw a conclusion from my experiences that Vista seems to have known compatability issues with communication with the iPod via USB.

    My suggestion to all Vista users is to install a clean copy of Windows XP on a separate partition. Windows XP users with such issues are also recommended to have a fresh reinstallation on a separate partition.

    Install all drivers, service packs and iTunes only to ensure that there is no interference with other programs.

    I wish you all luck! Thanks again to redsn0w and this wonderful community!

    Another happy user with a successful jailbreak,

    OK, can anyone help me here? I've jailbroken it, but when I go to my iPod menu, go to applications, hit selected applications, press apply, let it sync put no apps!

    EDIT: Sorted it :D

    I did it under 5mins, Make sure you read the instructions carefully if it's your first time jailbreaking.

    The only problem you'll have is putting it DFU mode - it takes a few attempts if it's your first time.

    Have you tried running as admin or re-downloading redsn0w?
