Hey KEBENNETT, 
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally. 
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

  • Why does it say that the version has not been correctly localized for my language when I try to open it?

    I am trying to open my itunes on my windows computer. It won't open and a box appears that says " The version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the english verson."

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:

  • ITunes will no longer download. It says it has not been correctly localized for this language, and to run the English version. How do I do that?

    My iTunes will no longer download.
    All of a sudden I get the message "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version".
    How do I fix this and run the English version again? .

    Start by trying to repair iTunes from the programs and features control panel.
    Otherwise, for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • After  a system restore, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please run the English version." the E

    I did a system restore, trying to get rid of the new update (which I HATE), and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please run the English version."  You can't change the language option unless you can open iTunes - and IT WON'T OPEN!!!  What a piece of crap!  If there existed an iTunes substitute, I would purchase it in a hot minute! 

    Strip it out and start again.

    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

  • ITunes didn't completely download my songs and now it says itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please use english version. What is this?

    iTunes didn't completely download all my songs. I updated iTunes and now this message appears "iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please use the english version." The only option I have at this point is to close it down because I can't access iTunes because this message won't allow me to get in.

  • Why am I getting an error stating this version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version when I just bought a song yesterday and had no problems

    I have iTunes running on my Windows8 desktop for some while with no problems. Yesterday I purchased a song, deleted a free game app. and upgraded to the most current version of iTunes.  This morning I could not pull up iTunes, so I retored my iTunes to a setting two (2) days ago.  Now, as soon as I try to start iTunes I get a message stating: This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the Enclish version OK.  So I hit the OK button and nothing happens.  Please help.
