Uninstall iTunes 11 and all the applications that were installed with it. Afterwards, install iTunes 10 instead.
Make sure to delete the library folder created by iTunes 11 in C:\Users\[username]\My Music\iTunes before launching the older versions of iTunes. Otherwise you would receive an error indicating that the programme cannot start.
