iTunes not Starting in Windows 8
I have the most current version of iTunes and Quicktime installed -- as a matter of fact I have installed them several times. When I click on iTunes to start it, it starts up the iTunes 32 bit service (as seen in Task Manager) but the application does not open up. Based on reveiwing other posts here, here are some things I have tried so far:
1. Removed and Reinstaleld iTunes (several times)
2. Installed QuickTime
3. Turned off the firewall (windows firewall)
4. Starting iTunes as Administrator
5. Starting iTunes in Windows 7 Compatability mode (along with other lower levels)
And of course have rebooted my pc numerous times with the same results. The app never starts.
What recommendations do people have
iPhone 4S, Windows 8
