Hmmmm. If we take it at its word, it's an issue with your QuickTime. I'm not convinced that that's the fundamental cause of your issue here, Zypo, but we should probably first try swapping out your QuickTime just in case.
Download and save a fresh copy of the "standalone" QuickTime installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line). Get the version that
doesn't mention iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Quit iTunes if you have it open. (ITunes uses QuickTime, and if iTunes is open, it'll interfere with the uninstall.)
Now head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we'll clear away any leftover QuickTime program files or folders.
(1) In "My Computer" open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
(2) Open the "Program files" folder.
(3) Right-click on the
QuickTime folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
(4) Go back into "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
(5) Open the "Windows" folder.
(6) Open the "system32" folder.
(7) Check for the presence of a
QuickTime and a
QuickTimeVR file. If either file still exists, delete each of them.
Empty the Recycle Bin and restart the PC. Now reinstall QuickTime by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Does the install go through okay? If so, try launching iTunes and plugging in the ipod again.
Still crashing, or does it work better this time?
