This is a new computer so I never had a chance to try itunes under windows 8. However when I installed it for windows 8.1 it initially seemed to work until I tried to log in to my account. Since then it's been crashing. Re-install after re-install it seems to keep crashing as soon as I open it up.
Has anyone else had this problem? This is the latest itunes, by the way.
Thanks!
Windows 8
I had this issue. Try copying QTWinMovie.dll from c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support to c:\program files (x86)\iTunes. This solution fixed it for me and was easy! 🙂
