Can I undo a change made with Compatibility Wizard?

I just bought a new computer with Vista (not my first choice), and iTunes
doesn't work properly (surprise!). Someone suggested running the
Compatibility Wizard and making iTunes run as if still using XP, because it
worked for him, and no more hang-ups.

I did this, and I'm still having the same problems, but I want to undo the
change because the exclamation pop-ups telling me that for best results, I
should turn off the compatibility settings are getting to be annoying. I
*want* to turn off the settings, but can't seem to find any instructions on
how to do so!

Can anyone help?

Last I heard Itunes is still not working with Vista. Apple is working on it,
so check with them. To turn off the compatibility mode--right click on the
program, properties, Compatibility.

Mary, thanks for replying. But I'm still confused. Maybe I'm missing
something obvious. Where do I right-click on the program? From the desktop?
If I do it from there I get Properties, but from Properties I don't see a
Compatibility option - just General/Shortcut/Security/Details tabs. What did
I miss? Would the compatibility mode turn off if I uninstalled and then
reinstalled iTunes?

It looks like Apple has integrated Quicktime & ITunes, maybe the new version
will be Vista compatible??
What do you have to lose?

Why the extremely irritating popup from apple that the compatibility mode
should be turned off for bst results if that is the only way it will run...
I tried deleting Itunes and reinstalling but that is a nogo either.
Anyone have any suggestions?
