Itunes 9.0.1 crashes just after starting every time.

Question

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help me out. Any advice would be most gratefully received.
I never had any problems previously running Itunes. I downloaded and used Itunes 9.0 immediately after it was released for a while without any problems. A week or so before 9.0.1 was released itunes started to crash shortly after I opened it. I downloaded Itunes 9.0.1 and the same problem has continued.
I can't think of anything I did before the crashing started that could have caused the problem. The last action was probably importing some movies. I've deleted the scripts and the lastfm scrobbler and that hasn't helped. The crash seemed to happen while Apple delivered my genius results so I managed to switch off genius before the programme crashed but, again, this doesn't appear to have solved the problem.
Curiously my girlfriend has a user account on the same computer, running 9.0.1, apparently without any problems. We share the same library and I've just updated hers, again without any problems.
Can any kind hearted soul offer a solution. You will be rewarded with generous helpings of Karma.
Best wishes,
Jakedance

Jason,
Have any advice for this?
While performing multiple downloads in the iTunes store (9.0.1) in Snow Leopard. I iTunes locks up and then the freeze propagates to my entire Mac until it becomes completely unresponsive. I then have to hold down the power button on my C2D iMac and then start up again a few minutes later. This has happened 3 times so far. I lost my iTunes library the first time and AppleCare recommended restoring the entire iTunes library 86GB, from my Time Machine backup. A pain. Since then it has happened additionally 2x. I've just unchecked the "allow multiple downloads" box in the downloads window, so we'll see if that fixes the problem.
