I can't down load itunes. I get an error message, NTVDM has encountered a System Error The handle is invalid.

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.ex NTVDM has encountered a System Error The handle is invalid.
Choose 'Close' to terminate tha application.
Close   Ignore

Okay. It seems unlikely to be the class of similar problems caused by various Symantec programs blocking installs.
It's a bit of a mystery in the first place why the 16 bit DOS subsystem is running in this context. (The iTunes installer is 32-bit on XP machines.)
Just in case it's a damaged NTVDM, perhaps try an sfc /scannow:

Does that clear up the error?
