Answer 1

hi stubbs!
let's start off with the three usual suspects with an "error-message-free" itunes launch failure:
if you don't see anything but a two-second-hourglass AND you've got Norton Internet Security 2005 on that PC
... let's start you off with the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
(other symptoms people sometimes see with the NIS 2005 one include looooong slooooow PC shutdown times, a ccApp.exe end program dialog box during the shutdowns, and a end program dialog box where the name of the program is apparently a long string of non-printing or random Asian characters ...)
if you don't see anything but a two-second-hourglass but you DON'T have NIS 2005 on that PC
... quickly check to see if you've got an unstable itunes configuration file:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
if you see a brief flash of the itunes license screen when you try to launch itunes AND you see similar behavior when you try to open your QuickTime
... your PC is probably infested by Qoologic adware. the free trial version of the EWIDO malware removal software has been cleaning that up for most folks:

if no joy with any of those possibilities, we'll try checking on some of the rarer possibilities. (actually the configuration file thing is pretty rare too, but we've got a troubleshooting document on it so i throw it out there anyway early on in proceedings.)
if, on the other hand, you're getting an error message when you try to launch itunes, post back to let us know what it says. the treatments for those are generally different from the treatments for the error-message-free itunes launch failures.
