ITunes will not launch...error 34...now doesnt even work

Question

Hello:
I recently purchased a shuffle and after installing the ipod software iTunes was getting an error 34 message but would open if I tried to open it a second time.
Now, iTunes won't launch at all, I have tried repairing and also uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Once the icon is clicked it will show an hour glass for a couple seconds but never load. All other applications on my computer are running fine except iTunes, any ideas?

hi Chris!

hmmm. are you also running Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, try the "Lorraine" technique:

... but if no joy with that, let's try this:

... but also, nowadays, we've also got to be on the look-out for a malware problem (especially if you're getting a "flash" of an itunes or QT screen when you try to launch either application):
