ITunes 7.4.3.1 + Vista: Startup bugs

Hi, I've installed the latest iTunes 7.4.3.1 onto my Vista OS laptop.
I'm running Vista Business Version 6.0.6000 Build 6000 with all of my updates.
Every single time I open iTunes, a dialogue box pops up saying "Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes". It can take a good 5-10 seconds for iTunes to get itself going. Then, when it runs, the entire program is black for a period of time, until either I click on the various parts of the program, or wait a minute or so and it clears itself up. Occasionally, I've even been asked to Choose my iTunes Library, or make sure that iTunes is the default audio player.
Not major problems, but still very annoying. I've already tried an uninstall/reinstall and that didn't help.
Any ideas on how to get iTunes up and running more smoothly? It's only been after recent updates that this has been happening.

iTunes crashes on startup on my vista 32bit.
Even after I upgraded to 7.4.3.1 and reinstalled iTunes several times.
I've also tried reinstalling quicktime and selecting "Repair" to no avail.
Running it in XP2 compatibility mode doesn't help.
Disabling Aero doesn't help.
Whether or not my iPhone is plugged in or not seems to make no difference.
This is the error msg.

    Hello, Jdragone. 
    Thanks for the question.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

  • ITunes has Stopped Working in Vista

    Browsing this forum, I see quite a few people are having trouble with the newest version of iTunes.
    Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7.5 a few weeks ago on my 32-bit Vista Ultimate, the program will no longer run. When I try to start iTunes, I get a message saying "iTunes has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem." Also, whenever I start up Windows, I get a similar message saying "iTunesHelper Module has stopped working."
    When I tell Windows to check online for a solution, it just gives me a page telling me there's a newer version of iTunes, but it is the newest version that I'm trying to run.
    Any thoughts?

    This solution has worked on one of my 4 computers so I can't guarantee but it might be worth a try.
    Uninstall Itunes and Quicktime. Reboot your computer
    Empty out the recycle bin
    Use Search to locate any and all files and folders that reference itunes or quick time. Of course do not touch your music folder.
    Delete all these references to itunes and quick time.
    Reboot.
    Download a standalone version of Quick time and install.
    Download Itunes (I used version 7.4.1 that I obtained from Oldapps.com.)
    Once this was done I was able to run itunes on my laptop. I did upgrade to 7.5 but I could not get my sons nano 8GB to sync so I reverted back to 7.4.1 and it works just fine.
    I have yet to get itunes working on My wifes vista laptop and it quit working on my XP desktop some time ago (I have never used it and wouldn't care except my son just bought the nano) Itunes a version prior to 7.4 was running on my sons laptop until he upgrade to 7.5 when he bought the nano, just last Friday, and 7.5 totally borked things up. Aside note is that his hard drive crashed a day later, but I don't think that had anything to do with it.
    If you read through this board you will find that itunes and windows are not getting along well at all. If you have a "new" ipod be it nano, classic or what ever I beleive you must use version 7.4 or newer. It seems to me that if Apple really wants floks to buy these things they should be sure the primary piece of software is stable and works!

  • Itunes 7.4.1.2 - Vista 64 bit - unable to import or burn cd

    Hello.
    Last night I installed Itunes 7.4 on my vista 64 bit box and kept getting the error that ITunes had installed incorrectly and I would not be able to import or burn cds.
    I then tried repairing and uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Then this morning I tried downloading and installing 7.4.1 and am still getting the same error.
    The about menu tells me that the cd driver dll is unavailable.
    Can anyone please help out?
    Cheers,
    David

    iTunes is not supported on any of the 64-bit versions of Windows, so you will not be able to get any official assistance from Apple (and they don't provide any technical support in the Discussions anyway; these forums are, with rare exceptions, user-to-user only). You can search the forum for "64-bit" and see what people are suggesting in other threads. One suggestion I've seen is that you need the 64 bit Gear drivers. You can download them from here:

    Hope that helps.

    i have the only account on my laptop so have checked and am the account administrator
    i run windows 7 home premium
    I have the same problem and
    have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
    then restarted as per instructions,
    went to Apple to download itunes,
    hit download now,
    Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
    did not get a save instead of run prompt
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
    If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
    i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
    If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
    sick of doing this
    at least 7 or 8 times i have re installed itunes to no avail
    troubleshooting no better
    please help. pulling my hair out at this stage

  • Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..

    Hi
    After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
    All other features seem to work... only opening  the iTunes store is failing..
    I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
    Please help

    Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!"  You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
    The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3).  I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store.  My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5.  Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs.  I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store. 
    Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
    I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.
