Q: itunes refuses to start

Hi, I do not have QuickTime installed so not that one :-(

Shame

Just tried installing and it failed. An error box popped up saying "Windows Installer Has Stopped Working".

Getting the impression it may not be Itunes....

OK, found the problem. Windows had screwed something up. When I was installing Quicktime it came up as Windows Installer has stopped working. A search on their community website found the following link:

Was specific to Vista but gave it a go and it now boots up and can install Quicktime. I went through the whole process and did a clean boot as well but it may have worked after the "sfc /scannow" part.

If you do the selective startup bit, make sure you go in and change it vack to do a normal boot up afterwards in the msconfig setup else things liek firewall, antivirus etc will not be loaded.

Cheers,

Hi, Itunes managed to start without installing Quicktime once I'd used the sequence above.

Looking back, I was having issues with Google Chrome last week in that whenever I started typing a web address that would crash as well. Tried uninstalling and installing that without any success. Just tried reinstalling it and it runs great.

Never used thet "sfc /scannow" before but it did find and correct issues. I'll remember that one.

Thanks for the advise.
