Unfortunately there have been multiple issues with the new version of Bonjour which was distributed with iTunes 9.1. Apple knows & is apparently working on a fix but for now you have a few options which might help.
1) If you don't need the Bonjour service (i.e. for Apple TV) go into system services (run msconfig from a run command & navigate to the 'services' tab), uncheck Bonjour & reboot. That should disable Bonjour & allow iTunes to run properly.
If you need Bonjour then either
1) Disable Bonjour as above, delete it & then download a copy of Bonjour 1.x from the web (you'll have to google for it, last time I posted the link, Apple removed my post). Install that one & all should be well.
2) Uninstall iTunes 9.1 & Bonjour, get a copy of iTunes 9.0.3 and install that one. That will give you the previous version of Bonjour as well. One warning, if you've opened iTunes since upgrading to 9.1, 9.0.x won't be able to open your library since 9.1 updated the library structure. Check in the iTunes folder for one called "Old libraries" or previous library or something similar & you'll have to open that to get your collection to load.
Good luck,
