Could be permissions problem. Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

It's possible that AV or other background processes are locking the file as iTunes Library file as iTunes tries to use it. Could you post a screenshot of the error message? Are you certain you know which file iTunes is trying to open? If you've ever used shift-open-iTunes to choose or create an alternate library, or iTunes has prompted you to choose because of a problem, then it might not be the one in the standard location.
