-   I have the same problem and performed all the steps listed in the previous post including cleaning the registry, file system, installs records and startup files. When I reinstall either iTunes or Quicktime after all this, I get the same error. Time to look for the XP disk and do a clean install... -   Guest

Right click on it and select run as administrator. if that doesn't work.

Remove itunes from add or remove programs, do a search for itunes on your harddrive and delete all folders with itunes or apple on it. there are probably some files in documents and settings folder that need to be removed.

basiclly the itunes and apple software needs to be fully removed and then reinstalled.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially would suggest to do an un-install. Thereafter temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall. Re-install iTunes 8.

Pls post back result(s). Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

The recommended solution is to first uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, and then download and install the most recent version of iTunes. (Delete any previously downloaded versions.)

- Uninstall iTunes, Quicktime and any other iPod software that may require Quicktime.
2:Search your Local Disk Drive for files containing the word "quicktime". When it finds all the hundreds of files, go through and delete all the old temp/backup/permitted files.
3: Go to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download the iTunes and Quicktime combined download.
4:Install iTunes/Quicktime combined pack.
5:Open iTunes, .
