    I recently complained that while upgrading to a newer version of itunes to initialise my new ipod shuffle apple managed to fail to install the corect dll's and give me an error message every time I started the computer. As I only needed it to initialise the ipod ( I've written my own mp3 player that knocks apples drivel into a cocked hat ) I uninstalled itunes problem solved then? Not a chance the dll error still occurs even without itunes installed so I am currently uninstalling everything on that pc that has any connection with apple in its name to see if that will fix it.

      Don't forget QuickTime. I've never installed iTunes but have often had similar problems whenever QT managed to sneak it's way onto a machine.

        So uninstalling stuff will create a dll?

            I avoid itunes at all cost for these sorts of reasons. I use MediaMonkey - there is a free version and payware version. The payware version only cost me around $25 and I get free updates for life. MediaMonkey handles iPods very well and as a media player and library/cataloging app - it is well worth a look at.
