Itunes stopping working even after reinstall - help please

I have not been able to access / watch anything stored on my iTunes on my laptop. every time I click on it I get the following message: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.
Can anyone help? I've tried the QTMovieWin.dll advice but its still not working?
Cheers

Hi Ellenred,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have already done some great troubleshooting. Did you remove not only iTunes but all of its components in Windows as well when you reinstalled? When you remove and reinstall iTunes, all components must be removed in order to ensure it works properly when reinstalled. If you have already done this, please let me know. If you need to go through this process please use the information provided in the articles below.
I am not sure what version of Windows you have so I will include articles for all versions starting with XP and up.

ITunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.

It's fully updated to iOS 5 and was working fine until now. Running on Windows 7 and worked flawlessly till this point. Any tips? I already uninstalled and reinstalled. Only security software I run is Microdoft Security Essesntials and that has never been an issue. At a loss here.

iTunes has stopped working message after having it open for one minute.
I open itunes and a message comes up after a minute "itunes has stopped working". I got the update automatically to my Windows 7 64 bit pc 10.5.0.142. After reading tons of probelms online about version 10.5

As I mentioned above, the minimum VRAM requirement has been published for a long time. That you chose to ignore that is whose fault again?
If you want to run some of the most sophisticated software available, you might have to consider getting more sophisticated hardware. You should have considered it before.

Getting itunes has stopped working message after downloading to Windows 8.1

Getting ITunes has stopped working message after 10 seconds after downloading to Windows 8.1

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.

Itunes won't open-error-says Itunes has stopped working

I can't open Itunes--it keeps saying it has stopped working and it tries to find a solution. Then it shuts down and nothing happens. I have uninstalled and redownloaded it but same problem.

Restart your computer.
Disconnect your computer from the internet and see if you can open iTunes without crash.
if iTunes does open, go to iTunes Menu Edit > Preferences, "Advanced" tab and click the "Reset Cache" button, OK.
Now, use Windows Explorer to delete the contents of Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Download
You may now re-connect your internet then see if you can open iTunes without issues.

F11 function has stopped working on my Satellite L550

Am running 7 Pro 32bit OS on a Toshiba L550 i5duo / quad thread core 4 RAM 500G HD Ati radeon premium. Up to now I had the F11 function working perfectly and recently it has stopped working at all. Then after completing a restore - which lost my Kaspersky Pure install as well it started up again. However after a couple of critical M$ updates it has gone back to not functioning. Hitting the F11 or the full screen in View drops the taskbar but only maginally reduces the size of the tools. menu, and address bars at the top. Have tried the FN key - for unlocking - no go.
This has become a really frustrating problem to find a fix for as I have searched forums gallore and Google without any luck. The M$ tech and other fixers help want money for finding the problem and I think as it is in all probability an OS problem or worse an HDD problem (had one go on my Toshy Vista machine before - not a cheap fix!!) - that M$ should be able to help without the cost, as the machine is only 7 months old! I was told bout this one and hopefully being nearer to "home" someone in here might know
Can anyone who may have had this problem or know what the problem is help me out before I go stir crazy? Will be most appreciated!!

Thanks so much to you both yes it was the F11 to "full screeen" in IE8 (and others) and yes Peter I tried your suggestion as I also found a vague reference to it in Paul Thurrott's Windows 7 Secrets. But yor explanation was so much easier to follow. Now I have my beloved full screen back - there is something out there after all lol!!
Can't thank you enough as it has been two weeks of hell trying to find the solution - even M$ were that unhelpful it wasn't funny.

Can nyone tell about MBP exchange policy as my new MacBook pro has stopped working

Open tab doesn't work when hitting the + or going to file, open new tab. automatic ones will work, but not manually.

does not open tabs by hitting the + or by selecting file, open new tab. i am operating under mac os x software and have updated firefox twice now with no resolution to this issue.

Many users have discovered this problem (in Firefox 30 and higher) is caused by Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
(1) In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential plugins to "Never Activate".
(2) In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific plugin/extension that caused the problem?

My itunes has stopped working out of nowhere. When I open iTunes a message appears stating "iTunes has stopped working." and windows closes iTunes sayng it will look for a solution.

When I click on New Tab a new tab will not open, new window does open, how do I open new Tab? used to work

New Tab feature no longer works, only new window

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
