pthreadvc2.dll was not found

I am getting an error message when I open iTunes saying "This application has failed to start because pthreadvc2.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I have uninstalled/re-installed the program. When it completes the re-install, iTunes does open and is usable, but when I close out of it and try to re-open it again I get the error message again. Anyone know the fix for this?

HP, Windows Vista

YES! I have finally resolved this problem. A Techi from Apple sent me an article with very detailed explaination of the proper way to uninstall and reinstall. he assured me that if I followed the tedious directions to the letter that the problem would be resolved and in fact it was.

Good luck.
