Upgrade iTunes now Secure link to iTunes Store Fails

Question

Hello,
I am running Windows 7 32bit. My iTunes worked until I upgraded the software in iTunes, I have tried all of the suggestions that have been posted in the discussion board but nothing resolves my issue.
I even have uninstalled the latest version and installed the previous iTunes version and still get the same issue.

Answer 1

Hi everyone, I wanted to add to what was said to sovling the problem with the secure link to itunes store failed. I had tryed what was said above and still had no luck. But wasen't till i had tryed just one step before. So here it is and hopfully this is the solution that will help others that had the same problem as me, fix it once and for all.
Windows Vista and Windows 7
1.Go to start menu. Click All Programs > Accessories> right-click "Command Prompt" and click on "Run as Administrator".
2. type ipconfig /flushdns and hit return.  (this is the part that really helped!)
3. type netsh winsock reset and hit return.
4 restart your computer
After restart launch iTunes.
