Feb 18, 2014 9:01 AMby tk8lee,Windows 8. It installed updates ealier in day. Went to Itunes and it woud not open Message was from User Account Control asking if this app could make chages to my computer. I answered yes and still cannot open. I did not uninstall Itunes but I did update to latest version and still it won't open.

Tried to open again and message said itunes was set to run an a compatibility mode for an earlier version of windows and I should change the compatibility mode. Don't know how to change compatibility mode.Then it opens but the window is too large on my screen. Does this make sense?

That's consistent with an odd display setting being chosen in the compatibility tab ... if you're still getting that after the reinstall, try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):
