iTunes in Windows 7 cannot connect to iTunes store

I have loaded the newest version of iTunes 11.1.4.62 in Windows 7 and when that was done all I get is a general error message the iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes Store (an unexpected error 310 occurred). I have searched and searched and can find no help with this problem. This versions of iTunes seems to not like Windows 7 very much; I had great difficulty downloading the version and installing it. Can anyone help me?
