iTunes misbehaving

[Shirker]

Whenever I shut iTunes these days it comes up with a little window saying "Saving iTunes library" which takes about 30 seconds or so and pretty much locks up the PC while its doing that. It does it even if I've made no changes other than played something. I've re-installed iTunes but its had no effect. While not a problem it is very irritating. Anyone else get that with it and has anyone tried successfully to stop it?

(Is this the right forum? - not too sure where general non-webby software sits these days)

mine is borked too.

It gives me a Visual C++ Runtime error and shuts down.

And whenever it starts up an install window flashes up briefly.

i hate itunes, its poo. does anyone know a plugin to make it work with WMP?

Sorry to hijack, but like you ive had plenty of issues with it, I have never hated a program as much as I do itunes.

Thanks Chris - from those posts and the ones they link to it sounds like it may be Nod32 that's causing it to do that.

And did the fix in the first link work?

Nice prompt Chris - I hadn't seen your "this" link - just hte main link underneath it. Just followed the info in the Shane Weldon one and Bob's your uncle - adding the iTunes folder to Nod's exceptions list fixed it.

Cheers Chris.
