Title pretty much sums it up. I'm getting very frustrated. I've tried turning off the compatability of my Quicktime, and nothing is changed. Can anyone figure out the problem? I can't find an answer anywhere.
Windows 7, itunes

If Quicktime was not in compatability mode, check iTunes:
My itunes was in "read only" mode, so after I unchecked that I got a message saying "itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes". After I installed itunes updates, INCLUDING a quicktime 7.7 update (even though I already had 7.7), I went to find the file "itunes library" and changed it to "itunes library.itl". It works now! Finally 🙂
Thanks for your help though, I'm posting this incase any future people have this issue! There's a video on youtube by Xzirius showing everything in case you don't understand!
Yea i got that same message to Quicktime failed to initialize (error-2096) Quicktime is required to run itunes.Please reinstall itunes, which i did so many times which did'nt work and so i started reading some of the articles on this site. there was one article i read which says right click on quicktimeplayer and click on properties then click compatibilty tab and deselect checkbox or boxes but i only deseleted one box which reads windows vista .windows 2000 or 95 or whatever so i did that opened up itunes again and still i got the same error message then i started thinkin i wonder if i should do the same thing on the itunes player click on properties, click compatibilty tab then deselect box so i did. Open up itunes hey hey presto it open up alrighty only problem i lost all my music but lucklie at backed them up on another hardrive, on my ipod & Cds...Hopefully this will help you out or anyone else...

My itunes will not open on my computer! I've uninstalled/re-installed my intunes 10.4 and quicktime countless of times, and nothing is working. Everytime I try to open my itunes it says "Quicktime error 2096", then tells me to reinstall itunes. Help?!...
