Video will no longer play in itunes

Hi, hoping someone can help me. After I tried to install the newest update on my Windows 8 laptop, iTunes would no longer even open. Had to unistall and then reinstall. Since then, I can no longer play any of my movies or tvshows in iTunes. I just get a black screen. I'm guessing I'm missing a file now or a driver or I have no idea. Thank you!

Itunes on my Dell laptop-OTHER, Windows 8

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.


The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.


Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.


The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.




Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
