The iPhone is one of the most wildly popular phones the world has ever seen, while Windows 7 is well on its way to becoming the globe's most ubiquitous OS. So compatibility between the two would be kinda sorta important, right? Tell that to Intel's quality control team who seem to have somehow missed an issue between Apple's app carrier deluxe and the P55 Express chipset's USB controller. Consistent (and persistent) syncing issues have been reported on Apple's support forums, wherein iTunes on Windows 7 machines recognizes the iPhone, but spits out an "error 0xE8000065" message whenever the user attempts to sync. While some have found limited success with using PCI-based USB cards (and bypassing the chipset), this is clearly a major issue and something Apple would expect to be fixed before shipping its Core i5 / i7 iMacs, which are likely to sport the chipset.

I just upgraded to Win7, and the physical sync with my iPhone went just fine. My computer isn't Intel, it's AMD/ATI.I do have a bit of a problem though... I'm now getting errors that Outlook is not set to be my default mail client and thus my contacts and calendar data is apparently not syncing.
Well duh, it's not set to be my default mail client - BECAUSE I DON'T USE IT FOR EMAIL!

I am running windows 7 on one of my laptops and when I plug my iPhone in to charge it, it "attempts" to sync just fine (Its not the primary machine I sync on)
It is only machines with Intel P55 chips running Windows 7.
My computer is an HP Pavilion Media Center m7690n.
My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. It is a P55 chipset. My spouse's computer is a home-built system, also running W7 on a P55 chipset. Both of us have the max 2GB of RAM that can be utilized with the 32-bit version of Windows 7. The 32bit limit on RAM is 4GB, not 2. Well, technically it's 3.5ish GB.
We're having no problems at all - in fact, sync seems to have increased speed since we installed W7.
Perhaps the sync problem being experienced is a function of his computer's RAM?
-----
2 GB ram is not the upper limit of 32 bit W7, 3.5GB is ... of course to get 3.5GB usually means you have 4GB of chips but 3.5 is all any 32bit OS will activate.
I doubt RAM is the problem for the OP, because I received W7 Professional through my Microsoft EA quite some time ago and it is running on my desktop (4GB Ram) and laptop (1GB Ram) and can sync my iPhone and iPod fine. Based upon his description of what is occurring I would suspect an invalid state descriptor.

Intel has said they are looking into the issue and think it might be a BIOS thing. Which would be an easy enough fix.
