iPod touch, Windows Vista
I get the same error (which is not listed in the article referenced here), and it doesn't help doing what's suggested in that article. iTunes just won't connect.
Have you complete removed all Apple related install software and reloaded in from scratch? as well as made sure all the drivers, firmware, and BIOS are updated on your PC? You get the driver, firmware, and BIOS updates from your PC's manufacturer's support site.

Yep, i did reinstall iTunes (I don't have any other Apple software) and I keep everything (except BIOS) updated religiously. It didn't help.
To add to my previous post - when I was able to connect to iTunes that one time, iTunes started downloading 750 Mb update. About 20% into download, iPod disconnected and went into the same old spiral of death with 0xE8000068 error in iTunes. I kept it connected and tried to reconnect again, without success. I was afraid to close iTunes, so I waited until iTunes downloaded all of 750Mb, and voila - by morning, iPod was restored.. Albeit a little weird, it wasn't restored to factory settings, it just managed to boot correctly and now works. It seems to be missing some files (e.g. iTuneU won't show any subscriptions, but I can still listen and watch the lectures from iTunesU through "Music"->"iTunesU" menu).
So far so good. I'll just restore it when I listen through my 6Gb of lectures and podcasts - I'm in Hawaii on vacation now, using hotel's WiFi and I don't know how kindly the hosts will look upon 6Gb download within a day, maybe they pay per gigabyte here. Besides I ain't fixing what works.
Well either way, I"m glad to hear you managed to resolve it. 😝

I had this problem yesterday, I did everythig I could find. I deleted the lockdown folder, I uninstalled itunes and even updated to their newest one 10.7 i believe and it still gave me this error. What I did to fix it was I turned my phone off and then back on and once it was on it prompted me that there is the new ios6 available and I said no because I rely on an unlock but that doesn't matter...I connected to iTunes and there it was and I was able to sync my stuff once again. I hope this helps somebody.
Thanks for sharing what worked for you. 😝
