Stupid iTunes

[Planefreak]

I have an iPod and eveyone knows you have to have iTunes to run it. (Or at least you did until new third party prog. were written). Well iTunes has recently been having tons of problems. I was forced to reformat my hdd after the retarded program would screw up my pc everytime i put and media into any of the drives. It would just bsod. Windows media player, nero media player, video lan content all worked fine with media in the disc drives, just not iTunes. After reformatting my pc and learning of the new updated software I went to download it. It downloaded fine. I tried to install it and nothing happened. My pc just acts like it is trying to open the file for 1 sec. then just returns to idle. I thought that file was corrupt so I re-downloaded the file, and it showed no change afterward. iTunes 7.1 works fine. Never downloaded 7.2. 7.3 is the most recent (it supports iPhone). Is this a hardware or software malfunction? I don't care all that much the updated software, but when things are broken I like to fix them. I hate broken things. What do you think? (P.S: I am sick of iTunes. It works but I am just tired of it.)
