Weird Zune software error

Apparently the Zune Software doesn’t want me to listen to Arcade Fire
Just 10min ago after I got out of the shower I returned to my computer just to see the Zune software do this little number. It appears the program locked and I was unable to click anything. there is no way to fix this without exiting out of the software, which I had to do with Alt+Ctrl+Delete. Have you seen this error or something similar before?
go here for a larger picture.

Yes, I had the same problem! Infact now the update will not install nor can I remove the old Ver of Zune software to install it… Zune Tech Support is a JOKE! They provided no help this time nor much help with a previous problem I had!!! I Love my Zune but wouldn’t wish the Zune Tech Support guys on my worst enemy…

Heres the fix from a nice Zune forum user!!
Garbled Lines/White Box fix here:
(this also fixes overall program slowness).
Exit the Zune software
1) Start->Run->regedit
2) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\GeneralS ettings
3) Right click and click New->DWORD Value. Name it ReevaluateVideoSettings
4) Right click again and create a new DWORD Value. Name it UseGDI.
5) Press enter, then right click it again and click Modify
6) Change the Value Data to 1. It should be hexadecimal by default.
7) Restart the zune software.

yeah,
i had the same exact problem.i got the original Zune a couple days after it came out,
and then the update came to installed it,and after like the f*cking hour it takes for the installation,the f*cking Zune marketplace and sh*t like that didnt work.it just had like those pink and green lines and glitched type of things on on it.
i found a way around it the time it happened,
but i have no idea what i did.
