BSOD with iTunes 7.0, 7.0.1

Question

Since installing iTunes 7, my windows computer crashes with a blue screen of death EVERY time I run the program. I am using XP Home and this NEVER happens with ANY other program...It seems that it is trying to analyze gap-free information for all the songs in my library...there are about 30,000 songs...it is also downloading podcasts when the BSOD occurs.
1. What gives? Anyone else having this happen to them? If so, is there a workaround?
2. Can I roll back to iTunes version 6.x?
3. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT
good lord, jeroly. that's the first time i've ever seen a 0x05 in an itunes context.
Microsoft has some information on that one:
You receive the Stop error "Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)" in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003
... but if no joy with that, let's get a minidump to the Apple Engineers for a look.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
collect the minidump, and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- The version of Windows you are using
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing
