Q: Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start

I had iTunes open and received the message that a new version was available. I attempted to update to V 11.1.4 and got through "Starting Services" after full download. Received notice "Apple Mobile Device failed to start" (error 1053). I went to Control Panel and attempted to restart AMD but it won't restart. Tried turning off Avast! Antivirus, but to no avail. I am this computer's administrator. Ideas?

Windows XP, Network Connection is fine

Thanks. I ended up uninstalling iTunes completely and then going back through the install process. I couldn't get there with troubleshooting either the AMD or other links.
