HT1349 For reasons unknown to me itunes will no longer open.  I receive a message saying that MSVCR80.dll is missing and then also windows error 126.  Can anyone help?

itunes has gone from working fine to not opening overnight!  When I click on the icon I get 2 messages:  MSVCR80.dll is missing and then windows error 126.  Can anyone suggest a remedy? 

Hey there Riab,
It sounds like you are unable to launch iTunes due to this error message. I recommend removing iTunes with the following article to get iTunes AND its associated programs uninstalled:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

When that is done, download and install iTunes from this page:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
