Have older Ipod for me... spouse got new Ipod

Trying to figure out why a new Ipod keeps crashing my iTunes. I've already reinstalled iTunes 7.7, but when I have the new iPod on the computer and open the iTunes, it crashes again.
Secondly, I'd like to get the new iPod registered, but it won't do that either.
I'd like to keep both of these iPods on the same computer with duplicate music on the two iPods.
Why can't this all be easy?
Thanks!

Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode.

Then connect it to the computer and run iTunes. If iTunes does not crash, go to the iPod's pane in iTunes and click on Restore. This will erase the iPod and reset it to original settings. Hopefully, that will get it working properly.
If iTunes still crashes, open a +My Computer+ window and see if the iPod is seen as a hard drive. If so, use Windows to reformat (erase) the iPod. Do a full format instead of any option for a quick format. If the formatting procedure completes successfully, run iTunes. If there is no crash, immediately run the Restore procedure to reinstall the iPod's internal software. Then you can set it up as sync it as desired.
If iTunes crashes still, or if the formatting procedures does not complete successfully, there is probably a hardware problem with your iPod.
The iPod should go through a initial setup procedure (in iTunes), but that does not register it. You do it here, if it's not too old of a product.

You can sync them however you want to your one computer.
