Itunes won't start in Windows Vista Home Premium

I have an HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop that I just got around christmas, and it is running vista homem premium.
Everything was working great until about a week ago, I started itunes, and windows just comes up telling me that itunes has stoppoed working, and it is trying to find a solution to my problem. Then it just goes away, and nothing happens.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled, running a registry cleaner inbetween, i've deleted all the files in my library inbetween the installs to try and make itunes creat a new library. I've unistalled the ace mega codecs pack on my computer. Nothing works.
Any ideas?

please, help me..
this has been bugging me for so long because i cant put new music on my ipod

Itunes wont install on my windows vista home premium 32-bit computer

on my windows vista home premium dell inpsiron 32-bit computer when it installes at the end it says rolling back action

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

WAV Files won't play on Windows Vista Home Premium

We have a HP Desktop PC running Windows Vista Home Premium. Just recently, certian sound files quit playing. We also noticed that the system sounds quit working as well. After looking into it more, I figured out that the drivers are all up to date, that iTunes plays music just fine, and that the internal error beeper in the tower replaced the error.wav when an error window pops up. I have run defragment, check disk, and other system scanners. None of these seemed to help. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

Have you checked the HP Website and Microsoft Support websites to see if they have any solutions to your problem? Since there could be multiple things causing this, I would check at the places I mentioned first and see if their knowledge base contains an answer.

Itunes won't start & Freezes Windows Vista - Please Please Help!!

Hey Guys,
Ever since I've upgraded to Itunes 10.1.2, my itunes won't even open. I click the icon on my desktop, I get the swirly circle for a bit, and then it stops. In the task manager, itunes.exe is listed as one of the processes, but doesn't seem to be running. I've tried EVERY solution I could find in these forums. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes about 6 times now, and I've even tried older versions. But nothing works. I've ran malware software, disabled my antivirus, and even tried to get the guys at the genius bar to help me (unfortunately they're not as well versed in PCs).
If you have any clues as to what may be going on - PLEASE Please Help me!! I'm a huge music buff, and it's been a MONTH since I last used itunes, and I would really love to have it back!
I will say this - occasionally after I reinstall itunes, a window that shows "checking music library" will pop up, but I'll wait for 45 minutes, and nothing will happen. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I have a good 100 GB of music on my external hd, but everything worked fine before.
Thank you all so SO much for your help, any input is greatly appreciated!

Really? Can no one help me?!

Unable to install iTunes 8.1.1 for windows vista home premium 32 bit

When program is installing from version 7.3, a message comes up stating I have a newer version of QuickTime which is impossible. Having purchased a new iPod Nano I cannot use it because iTunes 8.1.1 has not worked out bugs, or so it seems, to download it successfully. If anyone has had this happen and figured out what the problem is, I would love to read your answer.

Hi,
Yes, I have followed the troubleshooting tips in the following article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926.
I still had the issue after removing the application and cleaning up the installer files on my computer.
Two weeks ago I spoke with Apple technical support. We were unable to come to any conclusion as to any reason why the computer states there is a newer version of QuickTime.
Quite frustrating having purchased an iPod Nano.

Starting iTunes from a Desktop shortcut in Windows Vista Home Premium

Is anyone else having problems starting iTunes in Windows Vista Home Premium?
I have to attempt several times to get iTunes to start - using the Desktop shortcut, the listing in the start list and even the listing in the 'All Programs' list.
Once again I am compelled/induced to make a complaint about the effectiveness of iTunes 'Support' ... but I could be just a little redundant - after all how can one complain about something that does not exist???

please, help me..
this has been bugging me for so long because i cant put new music on my ipod

I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

Can't use iTunes with Windows Vista Home Premium

I have deleted and reinstalled so many times, so i tried the compatibility settings and set it to work for Windows XP(Service Pack 2) with 256 colours. It works, but it messes up all my colours.
Help, please.
(My brother got iTunes working on his Windows Vista Home Premium laptop, but it won't work for the desktop computer.)

i think the file name quicktime.msi is causing the problem
also forgot to add that installation stops when the status turns to computing space requirements

Cannot open iTunes 8 with Windows Vista Home Premium

Hopefully someone here can help me with my problem. I have a new Ipod Touch that needs itunes 8 to work. I have a new HP PC with Windows Vista Home Premium. The problem I'm having is: itunes & quicktime will download successfully onto my computer, but after download will not open. I receive the error message "itunes has stopped working...A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have tried to open them from desktop & from programs ...will not work. I was using itunes 7 with no problems, but after upgrade to the new version (itunes 8) I started having this problem. Here are a few of the things I have tried so far with help from just about every tech support I could find: uninstall & reinstall itunes (tried this several times..didn't help, but itunes installs successfully each time)...try installing quicktime & itunes separately (didn't help)..disable firewall & virus protection (didn't help)...turn off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) (didn't help)...tried saving software to discs & installing itunes that way (didn't help)...I have updated all of my software including windows vista...I've run virus checks...& pretty much run checks on anything else I could find. I occasionally get the same error message when I try to open Rhapsody, but not every time. I'm thinking of using my backup discs & restoring my computer to factory settings. To do that would be a last resort, but I am getting pretty close to desperate. Does anyone think restoring it would help? If anyone has any ideas for me to try I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

You need to to check to see if your Quicktime works normally. Itunes will not work if QUicktime doesn't.
If Quicktime doesn't work, describe what happens with any error message in full.
Go to your control panel and try to start QUicktime preferences. In XP you need to be in classic view to see it, I am not sure about Vista.
Give the full text of any error message.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar
If so uninstall them, they are bad news for Quicktime.
Report back with your results.
If Quicktime is OK have you seen the Apple troubleshooting article for launch failure, I guess you have probably done quite a bit of it anyway, but is worth going through it systematically:

I can't synchronize my iPod's with my iTunes software (Windows Vista Home Premium) due to problems with the access authorization / rights for this operation

Hi there,
I'd like to ask you something:
I'm trying to synchronize all my iPod's (I have as many as 4 iPods: 2 iPod touch a 8 GB each and 2 iPod classic a 160 GB each) with my iTunes software (Version 11.3.1 which is installed on a Windows PC (Windows Vista Home Premium)). Unfortunately, the iTunes software refuses to run the command "synchronize with the iPod connected" regarding each and every iPod I have. iTunes just declares:
Synchronizing is impossible because I wouldn't hold the access authorization / rights for this operation.
I uploaded the songs at issue to my iTunes folder from CD's (all songs are in AAC format now).
What is this access authorization, why was something like that invented and what can I do to get it?
How do I have to proceed in detail?
What would it cost?
I am brand new here and have never ever made a post in any support community anywhere in the world in my life. Well, and I am not excessively knowledgeable about the particular computer or mac language but I know the very basics or can find out about them.
Anyways - can you help me please?
If you can't help me, who can do so?
It would be nice if you could answer me as soon as possible!
Thank you guys
Prying Pedro

Yes, others have experienced the problem, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that and the simple solution.
Termporarily disable any security software on the computer.
