Itunes error: visual C++ runtime library?

I recently began getting this error message again.





I have had this same error message problem before, and this time i closed itunes and opened it again several times, which did not help. I have the latest version of the software, and even tried downloading it again to see if that would help matters, but i am still getting the error.





Any guidance would be appreciated, and a best answer will be given if the answer solves the problem.


Thanks!

Reply:Okay this happened to me a couple of minutes ago! And it won't go away! It's happened to me before and this is the solution that worked for me:





I deleted most of my downloads, closed all open windows, and tried again. It didn't work. Tried a couple of hours later and held the mouse down on one of the songs-so it would start playing. Guess what? It worked! So right now it's not working for me but I'll wait a little longer. I was planning to buy two songs today and now I can't get it to work! I've seen resolved answers to these kind of questions and this is what one computer expert, "Ms. Dell" put as an answer to this question asked by another user:





Hello, Ugh. My ID is Ms. Dell, and I am pleased to help you today.





Since you have already uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and the problem still persisted, I am going to provide you additional steps in correcting this dysfunctional problem.





Be patient with me, because this problem requires patience.





We need to delete staled codes in IE7 first.





Open IE7 ( Internet explore 7) which is your browser, and click on TOOLS located to the upper right and then select INTERNET OPTIONS......... There, you will see many buttons. Click on DELETE, then you’ll be taken to where you can either DELETE FILES, DELETE HISTORY, DELETE FORMS, DELETE PASSWORDS AND DELETE ALL.





I highly recommend you to delete your files, history, forms and cookies. Then close that box and then click on OK located to the bottom.





Before we proceed to the next step, be informed that you may lose your Itunes songs.





What OS are you using, is it windows XP or Vista? Let's assume you are using XP.





Click on START located to the bottom left on your computer screen and click on MY COMPUTER. Double click on Local disk (C:) then click on PROGRAM FILES. Then click on the Itunes folder..... Then delete everything in that folder relating to Itunes...





After you have finished deleting all the items in Itunes folder, repeat the step to remove Quciktime player from your computer, too. Then reboot your computer. Then go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/ to re-download Itunes.





NOTE: Turn off your personal firewall program when you are downloading Itunes. But remember to turn it back on as soon as you are finished.





I hope this helps.





You have a great day now.





Ms. Dell.

Reply:I'm sorry but "Ms. Dell"'s suggestion is pretty unorthodox. You should never delete a program by going to the Programs folder and deleting the corresponding program. You should always go to "Control Panels" %26gt; "Add/Remove Programs" and find the program you want to remove there. That will get rid of all of the hidden files most programs throw all over your hard drive.





Also, deleting your downloads and browsing history won't have anything to do with iTunes getting a runtime error.





So if you want to uninstall iTunes, do it through add/remove programs. It might work if you do it the other way but a lot of the time this will get you into trouble.
