I have I problem with iTunes/Quicktime. PLEASE HELP.

Question

Whenever I click on the iTunes icon, on my desktop, a window pops up that says...
"QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3 or later.
Please reinstall iTunes."
Kay, so I reinstalled iTunes.
And it still doesn't work.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled...
so on..you get the picture.
Bottom line? I'm still getting the same message. And I can't get past it.
Please?
Thanks.

Try swapping out your existing QuickTime. Go to your Add/Remove programs and uninstall QuickTime.
Next, manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
Next, install a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of iTunes. Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
Go into Add/Remove and select iTunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch properly now?
