ITunes 11.0.5 crashes when accessing the store.

Question

I just updated to iTunes 11.0.5 recently and whenever I try to access the store, it crashes. The loading bar gets about 90% loaded and then I recieve an "iTunes has stopped working" message form windows and am forced to close the program. I've tried a few things from the support communities, but nothing seems to help, so I'm hoping someone even more tech savy than me can figure this out.
Here is the information I am given when I ask for problem details:

If anyone can help me, I'd be very grateful.
