Itunes 7.7 and windows Vista not working!

Hello,

I have been plagued with iTunes and Vista problems ever since i got it on my Pc over 9 months ago!!

I had hoped that a multimillion company like apple most successful in this nich of the market would want to keep its customers and provide us with up to date valid software but NO..... 9moths later same problem!

Every time i uninstall and install a newER verson of iTunes i get the following sequale of errors:

1. Firstly a box appears with a sliding bar with " Please wait while windows configures iTunes "

2. When this finsihed another box appears " iTunes stopped working "

3. When u click OK (the only option) in the task bar on the bottom right a small bubble appears with the statment " Data execution prevention has closed iTunes "

Now i have been battling with this problem for some time and have tried many things like changing version of iTunes (clean uninstall and new install etc)

I have also located that if i try to start up Quicktime i get the same error box this time reading " Quicktime has stopped wotking "

I have uninstalled Quicktime and installed a new clean copy to no avail.....

Appart from throwing my iPod in the Thames and getting a samsung mp3 player, i dont see any solution... anyone have any ideas?

My Thanks in advance!
