Q: When I run autoruns as suggested by TS4123, a DOS program runs but no Windows box opens, so I can't check for LSP conflicts

I am trying to troubleshoot an iTunes problem, which may be related to the resources issue that has been previously identified. 

My problem is that once iTunes has been running for more than half a day or so, when I play music the program "skips" through the song, playing snippets a fraction of a second long.  A 4 minute song will be done in a few seconds.  The program then skips to the next song and this repeats.   Rebooting solves the problems for a few hours, then it reoccurs.  Other symptoms include iTunes not responding quickly, especially to closing it. 

As per TS4123, I tried to rune the Autoruns program to see if I had a conflict.  I launched the program and a DOS box opens and runs some command line items, but nothing else happens.  I don't see a Windows box like I should. 

Help on either problem?

I am running Win4, 64bit, on an HP desktop.  I have updated video and audio drivers.
