Aahh, So That’s the Problem: iTunes for Windows v. 5
I’ve been messing around with the computer for a couple of hours now, trying to get iTunes to work. It simply won’t start up. I figured Slappy, who is starting to spend some time on the computer alone, had messed something up.
Well, after several uninstalls, reinstalls, system restores, etc., I finally found this. It’s apparently an upgrade problem. The symptoms described in the linked article are the same ones I’m experiencing.
Apple and Microsoft: a match made in heaven.
Hope they roll out a fix quickly.
