PLEASE HELP iTUNES WONT RUN!!!

I have uninstalled and downloaed iTunes numerous times.
Before it just would not open.
I thought it might be a virus so i went out and spent another $50 on virus protection program.
I reinstalled iTunes again, installed service pack 2, and installed new verion of Quicktime.
I've done everything I can think of.
now when I try to open iTunes I get a message saying:
" iTunes requires Windows 2000 or later.
Please make sure compatibility mode is disabled in the Compatibility tab of the properties for iTunes.exe. "
I have a Windows XP and installed SP2 which is what the iPod box says is required.
I am so fed up.
I worked to save up for the brand new iPod I have been wanting forever now and cant even use it.
Ive done as much as I can do and ive run out of ideas.
I dont know how to check the compatibility mode thing its asking me to check.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT HERE?!?!?
thank you.

PLEASE HELP Itunes wont open after downloading v6

COMPAQ Presario R3000 Windows XP
Please help, i have just downloaded itunes (v6) and when i try to open it, nothing happens (no error) it is in processes in task manager (as itunes.exe) but it is not actually open. I have spent many hours trying to fix this and still no luck, please someone help,
Thanks in advance

Well I don't know what "tried everything possible" means!
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Please help- Itunes wont start up

Can anyone help? I installed itunes from the web and when I click the icon, it tells me that the "itunes folder could not be created and that the default location should be in My music". Itunes does not start up. I am on a PC using windows XP. Please Please assist. Anyone?

This problem is usually due to an incorrect registry setting for My Music, see this article:

PLEASE HELP Itunes wont load

All i want is to my songs on my ipod...I cant figured out anyother way so could someone Please Help

replying to duecer

the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post. (heads up: that thread may take some time to load. leave it for a few minutes until it loads fully, otherwise you might not see the correct post by Nigel.)

PLEASE HELP itunes wont let me burn a disk

Is there a way to burn the playlist on your ipod.

Please help, itunes wont give me option to sync from my iphone

I have an iphone 4s and I just downloaded itunes on my hp with windows and the new itunes doesnt give me an option to sync my mnusic library onto my computer from my iphone. ive tried restarting it and unplugging it and they dont give me any options!

iTunes will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your phone to your iTunes library. To do that, authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Music from other sources on your phone (such as from ripped CDs) must be extracted from your phone using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (PC or Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only).
If your iTunes library is still on your old computer, the best solution is to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a Windows operating system file there.
Perhaps try an sfc /scannow. For instructions, see the following Microsoft document:
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

Hi, oldcrow13.
Thank you for the response. Typically this error is caused by installing an older verison of iTunes than you had prior. When you installed iTunes did you download the program directly from iTunes.com, or did you use an older copy of the program on your computer? If you used an older version or are unsure, uninstall all the components one more time and download a new copy of iTunes via the link below.

just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error;

By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
Click "Choose Library ..."
You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
Does your iTunes library open without the error?

Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success. After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up. Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone. Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.

Fixed. /Users/x/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AirKeysInputManager.bundle got corrupted by a badly installed safari extension. Deleting this, then reinstalling adobe air did the trick. I wasn't thorough enough on my first try, it was tricky to find everything associated. I had to look for files in the console log then search for them. Spotlight was missing some deep files, EasyFind worked better for me.
