ITunes stopped working after Windows Service Pack 2

Maybe it's a coincidence, but I've been having all sorts of problems loading the latest iTunes version (64-bit) ever since I downloaded (not by choice) WIndows Service Pack 2.
iTunes just won't open.
First it would open and say that the color scheme had been changed by some setting somewhere.
Then it wouldn't open at all.
I've fooled around with permissions and compatibility settings -- I've reinstalled the latest iTunes for WIndows 64-bit -- and iTunes just will not load.
I've seen some evidence online that I'm not alone in this problem, though it's hard to tell.  The solutions I've seen seem to be a bit complicated -- does anyone have any information on this problem or am I going to have to go back to an Apple computer if I want to continue using iTunes???
Thanks for any help. 
B
PS For now I've got to leave on a 4 -hour trip for which I'll have no music thanks to this problem -- so any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Roll back the service pack.(uninstall software through control panel.)  Does it work again? 
Reinstall service pack.  Make sure antivirus and all other software is not running in background.  Reboot.

    Downloaded 10.5 iTunes and when I put in an audio book to import into iTunes as soon as I begin typing book info notice appears that iTunes has stopped working and windows 7 closes iTunes.  Anyone else have this problem?  I hate that you have no way to contact these people and report problems.  I tried the old feedback but that didn't get anywhere.  Please, I've got several audio books to load and I'm not getting anywhere.  Thanks

    You really need to put your codes between the
    [\code] tags
    see http://forum.java.sun.com/features.jsp#Formatting
    for more infoCode tags might make it look a little better, but there's still too darn much code. We're volunteers, after all. It'd be a lot of work to review all of this stuff. Can you demonstrate your problem with something smaller? Learn out how to do a combo box with just a page or two and then appy that to your big problem. That's how I'd do it. - MOD

  • Itunes stops working after update windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit and recently updated to itunes 12. After a few minutes itunes crashed with the "has stopped working" message. I have reinstalled, created a different user account and got rid of all other Apple programs all to no avail. I even reinstalled itunes 11 but it would not recognise my library. This is driving me mad. Seems I'm not the only one. suggestions please!!

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

  • ITunes stopped working on Windows 8. Error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly.

    I have Windows 8. Originally iTunes worked fine, then it couldn't update (said it was unsuccessful). Then it stopped working, so I (after much research) tried a long and tiresome method of removing all Apple products and re-installing them. I did this 3 times and it eventually worked and has been working fine for a few months. Recently, when trying to update, it has said "update successful", but when checking for new updates, finds the same one it supposedly just installed, wanting to install it again. For a few weeks now it has not worked at all, saying "error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly" when I attempt to open iTunes. I can't bring myself to go through the whole process again of uninstalling and reinstalling everything, it took hours and it clearly doesn't solve the problem. I have no idea what the problem is. Reinstalling only iTunes doesn't work. The support pages have no advice available for my crappy version of Windows.
    Please help me!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    It shouldn't really take that long to do, assuming it goes smoothly.

  • Itunes stops working after itunes match runs.

    After I open Itunes and it does the Itunes Match it stops working. I have the most recent version, I have ran all the diagnostics I can on my end. Any clues? Extremely frustrated right now.
