De-select the compatibility mode box, then click apply. Try once again to open iTunes. If this does not work, see procedure below. This is an error, where itunes is slower than usual or not working at all. Itunes should have been downloaded properly. It might be http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_iTunes_error_2096_on_windows_XP that it was not installed properly, and some of the files are not there. If this is not letting you go on itunes, uninstall it using control panel and add/remove programs. If it says to reboot your computer, you'll have to reboot it. Then reinstall it. This is a risk, because when rebooted you will lose all the information on your computer, but if you want itunes, then you should reboot. I had this same problem for months. What you have to do is go to my computer, open c drive ,right click on itunes folder,open properties ,open compatabilities and deselect then click ok then you should be able to open itunes i had the same problem. this this took me an hour to figure out...reinstalling and uninstalling. finally worked for me when i installed quicktime 7.3.1. try that, it should fix everything. heres the link http://www.oldapps.com/quicktime_player.php?old_quicktime=7#Download If your message reads that Quick Time cannot initialize due to error 2096, right-click Quick Time on your desktop, click on properties, and select the compatibility tab.

has to do with the fact that the kernel and most of the OS shared the features/service packs and the general respect that Microsoft gives to it's server line of products. In other words, what I'm trying to say, is that generally speaking Microsoft's behavior very much reminds that of Sauron of LOTR, while it's eye is fixed on the Vista / Desktop users, and actively Harming them and trying to amputate them, Windows XP X64 users are left, just like Frodo, to calmly walk the land of Mordor undisturbed. Unfortunately, this is where the metaphor ends, since many other software companies, seem not to respect the legitimacy of Windows XP X64's users to peacefully exist… What's more interesting is that in some cases it's even Microsoft that seem to no support it's own dog food: Now, while in the particular case I've just mentioned, there is a well documented fix (and in all fairness it appears to be more of a braindamage somewhere deep in redmondian since the actual MSI files install without a hiccup), this does not seem to be the case with iTunes. Even though iTunes supports Windows Vista X64, it does not seem to show love for Windows XP X64: The reason I write about this is because I've found a FIX!, From what I can tell, this seems to work perfectly fine, but keep in mind… YMMV. From my personal experience, iTunes will complain about not being able to burn CDs (Who cares?), but everything else works well.. including iPhone support… In case you are experiencing some iPhone related problems after the install, scroll down to the Troubleshooting section for a possible fix. So… How?: Installing iTunes Download the 64 bit iTunes installer, the links are not always easy to find, but google comes in handy: Generally speaking try looking for: iTunes [Version #] iTunes64Setup In my case it was: iTunes 7.6.2 iTunes64Setup, which was found here Use some extraction tool to open up the iTunes64Setup.exe into a folder, in my case I used ever so useful 7-zip, and named the folder iTunes64Setup-x64patch, since I plan to zip it up for later use… This should look like this: Now, we shouldn't care for the iTunesSetupAdmin.exe file, we only care about the MSI files. All of the MSI files are compatible with XP X64 to begin with, EXCEPT for iTunes.msi, which is kind of important… so now we need to make it work with XP X64… Download Microsoft's Orca MSI editor, you can either google it, or download the entire Windows SDK (1.4 GB and counting…), install Orca Edit the iTunes.msi file with Orca (You c
