Apparently there is a problem with one of the world’s most popular smartphones and the latest computer operating system to come out of Microsoft; we are of course speaking about the iPhone and Windows 7.

According to an article over on the Register, there are reports that an issue between the iPhone and Intel’s P55 Express chipset’s USB controller which causes issues with the iPhone syncing with Windows 7.

Apparently reports on Apple’s support forums state that iTunes on Windows 7 machines recognise the iPhone but returns an “error 0xE8000065” message whenever a user tries to sync their iPhone. Apparently there has been some success of users using PCI based USB cards but this is clearly a major issue.
