Installing Itunes 6 for Windows

Question

Hi, I just upgraded to Itunes 6, and now, even though it shows on my desktop Itunes-it won't open...The Icon is there, but now nothing happens when I open it. Then, after uninstalling and reinstalling about 8 times, I now get an "Error Report" when I click on the icon. The error report says that Quick Time is not functioning, even though it works fine when I access it seperately. "Somebody please help me"...I refuse to pay $50.00 for Apple to give me a vague answer that will ultimately point me to the "tutorial page".
Thanks in andvance-

Answer 1

I did what you said. iTunes does not show up in the Task Mgr. QuickTime does with a message box asking if I want to default some files to QuickTime. The msg box closes before I can click anything. Next??
that's the best straight line i've been given in days ... i've just spent 5 minutes writing responses and then deleting them ...
... back to business. we're going to check to see if you've got the adware/trojan that's been causing people grief.
use the following technique to try to identify start-up items that are blocking itunes launch:

you're especially on the lookout for weird 4- and 6-letter names that don't turn up any hits if you do a google on the names. if you find any such, there's a good chance you've got adware.
the particular beast that is causing the most grief to people is a version of Qoologic. it's slipping under the radar of most commercial scanning packages at the moment. we do have a manual technique for removing it though. see:
