I am using the current issue of iTunes and I rebooted my computer, but I get the same error. Nothing happens when iTunes starts.

    Hey,

    beaTunes communicates with iTunes over what's called COM. Sometimes, when iTunes gets updated, the COM server isn't installed correctly by the updater. What usually helps, is running the iTunes installer from the Apple website (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/) and then restarting the computer.

    Hope this helps,
