Do you mean that whey you try to launch iTunes, it doesn't launch but there is no error message, but when you look on the processes tab in Task Manager you can see iTunes.exe in the task manager.
If this is it first try this:

I have given the XP version, but there is a link to the Vista version on the page. You did not give your operating system.
If that doesn't work, the most common thing is a problem with cryptographic dlls. Before checking them it is important to be sure your system is from malware as this can cause the problem and interfere with a solution.
Run a scan with up to date definitions, there is an on line scan you can do at Kaspersky:
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
It is good at detecting problems but unfortunately the free scan doesn't remove them.
Beware of searching the internet for malware removal software, much of it installs malware, stick only to the big names.
Next try working carefully though *method 4* in this article:

Make a note of any error messages, and post back with the names of any files mentioned. This is important.
If there are no error messages try starting iTunes.
