I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes per Windows in a special sequence at least 5 times. I have used programs suggested by so called experts and paid for it to no avail. I love my iTunes and my iPod shuffle (first generation). I have Windows XP SP 3. Any thoughts?

Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding the the shift key until
you are prompted to choose/create a library, or iTunes crashes.If you get
the prompt, select create and navigate to or if it pulls your libraries then see which one is good and which is corrupt.

go into your computer and locate your quicktime
folder. it's going to ask you for access and permissions to see
the contents. You
access it by going to the security tab under properties and edit who gets to
keep the control. use your user as the administrator and click a box that says
"Replace owner on subcontainers and objects". After you do that, then go ahead
and apply everything and OK everything. Close the properties. if you succeeded
then you will be ale to go into the folder with no problem. If so, then run
iTunes again.
