Q: I reinstalled itunes 10 and can't find bonjour

I'm trying to use HomeSharing using my iTunes on an HP PC running Windows 7, an iPad and an iPod and an iPhone 5. I'm getting a message that my Bonjour has been disabled. I can't find the program to reenable it so after reading a suggestion that I reinstall iTunes. I did that and now have version 10.7.0.21. I still get the same message and I don't see Bonjour on the computer

Windows 7

    In your Start menu, right-click "Computer" (or "My Computer" if using XP) and select "Manage".

    Expand "Services & Applications".

    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)

    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".

    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Automatic":

     

    bonjour service set to automatic.png

     

    ... and click OK.

     

    Restart the PC. Do you still get the message about the service being disabled?
