That guy was trying to turn Filevault on. I'm trying to turn it off.
Still, good to know I'm not alone.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Woops. Sorry Jon, wasn't paying much attention. I'm pretty I've seen people with the opposite problem, though.

I'm currently testing a theory that me needing 4084GB is a lie -- that I really only need to get the HD over half empty and it'll work. This might take awhile... I'll report back later.

Doing the aliasing thing came about through experimentation when I tried to figure out how to set (withing iTunes) a different location to look and went crosseyed. So much easier to use an alias.

It should be easy. Preferences -> Advanced -> General, iTunes Music Folder Location
I can't find how to do it with Quicktime Player, though, which seems to be what Front Row uses to play video.

Theory confirmed! FireVault is now turned off. Yay!

Cool, Jon. I searched on Google for a while and couldn't find a fix -- it looks like it's something Apple need to fix.

Bon Bon, since other files and C&P work, it seems like a setting to that specific file. Email it to me (deleting any confidential information first ,since you are sending unencrypted) and I'll take a look. I promise nothing, but I've had good luck diagnosing fiddly little things like that quickly.
My profile addy is good.

My Vista install CD has arrived!
Watch it now sit on my shelf collecting dust. But I have it, should ever decide it's time to make the switch.
