How to fix itunes error 7 (Windows error5)?

downloaded and used itunes, on laptop(Acer), but when I tried to reopen I get error message, Not installed properly. Reinstall itunes. Error 7(Windows error5). Why does it work fine, but then not work, and display this error message days later?

Hi surferman!
It sounds like you will need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes to fully resolve this issue. iTunes requires that the components of iTunes be uninstalled in a specific order from the control panel, and that specific order can be found in this article about uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
It is important to note that:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
These steps may take a significant amount of time to complete, depending on your system.
If you run into any issues while attempting to reinstall iTunes, you may want to reference this article as well:

  • TS1424 how to fix itune (error-54) messenger will connect to internet

    my id and password do not open up itune store get error(54) and messenger say not connected to internet but it is..
    Help!!!!!

    I have the same issue, too. My New Yorker subscription is fine, always has been. But my Conde Nast Traveler subscription won't work. I can get to the screen where you enter your information (either with name and address or subscription number and zip code), but once I press Continue I get the error.
    I emailed Conde Nast's customer service, and this is what they said:
    Dear Subscriber:
    Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you have
    experienced.
    We have applied a fix to the app for the server error and you will need
    to close and re-open your app. To do so, please double click the "home"
    button to close the running app and then re-open your app.
    Please let us know if you still experience any problems.
    If you should need further assistance, please be sure to include all
    previous e-mail correspondence.
    Thank you for your interest in Conde Nast Traveler.
    Sincerely,
    Shar
    That didn't work. I tried the restarting the iPad, as someone here suggested, but that didn't work, either. Interesting that this seems to be a Conde Nast issue - my NY Times and National Geographic subscriptions are just fine, too.
    I'm afraid I'm not sure what the guidance in this knowledge base article means: "Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software." How does one do that on one's iPad?
    I actually wonder if it's a firewall issue. Are any of you attempting to enter this information at work, for example? I am, and my company has a firewall/proxy that gives me issues sometimes. I'm going to try to find a wifi hotspot at lunch to see if it'll work there.

    possible solutions?   Thanks

    Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:

    So I was upgrading to ios 6.1 on iPhone 4s the upgrade crashed told me to connect to iTunes. iTunes said to restore at the end of restore the restore stops and iTunes gives me the -1 error. Any way to fix this error

    Yes, sounds like hardware trouble. I had the same problem trying to restore a dead iPad. I reviewed the error log after the multiple failed restores and it proved that the baseband chip was not communicating at all. Here is the video on youtube. Note the log output at the end.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so arearticularly important:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
