I tunes won't open because MSVCR80.dll error - and can't re-install itunes either - now what?

Today I went to open iTunes and received the MSVCR80.dll error - unable to open iTunes.
After Googling for a solution, I found the Apple walkthrough on how to copy your .DLL files to your desktop, uninstall iTunes and reinstall.
When I tried to reinstall iTunes, I got an error in the "starting services" part of the installation process and was not able to complete the install.
Now what?
I am getting incredibly ****** off with iTunes - a horrible user interface and no support available even though I've spent hundreds (if not thousands!) of £££ over the years through the store.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
Thanks

Fianl Cut Pro won't open! I trashed prefs and done a clean install severall times. Pls help

Fianl Cut Pro won't open! I trashed prefs and done a clean install severall times. when i open final cut it loads all the plugins then stops responding, i then have to force quit it.

FCP X has only been out for 7 months! Or are you using FCP 7 ?
Anyway it sounds as though you have probably done something recently.
What have you recently updated or what new apps and plugins have you installed?
When you trashed the preferences did you do it correctly using this app

Before you reinstalled it did you completely uninstall it using
