Q: "Accessing iTunes Store" message stuck...

I just installed the upgrade via Software Update and since... whenever I start iTunes it immediately gives a pop-up window stating 'Accessing iTunes Store' and is seemingly stuck. If I hit cancelled, the 'Canceling' message just gets stuck. On top of all this, I am unable to use iTunes and play any of my media as these stuck messages completely renders iTunes dead. What can I do?

Mac Mini aluminum, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

"I've managed to fix this before by using the netsh winsock reset cmd command."

Worked for me. First thing I tried. Thank you Jonny10.

"netsh winsock reset
DO NOT DO IT IN ONE COMMAND"

Worked for me in one command.
