iTunes 7xxx installation causes BSOD

Until the past couple of months, I've had no problems with iTunes. But I ran into some problems (forget exactly what) and ended up uninstalling Quicktime & iTunes. Now...I can install iTunes 6 but it won't interface with my iPods. EVERY VERSION OF ITUNES 7xxx causes a BSOD every single time I try to install it. I've been working with this for about two months now, since it wasn't a priority, but now I really want to be able to add & remove songs & movies to our family's iPods...

I'm using Windows XP Pro with SP2.

The BSOD does not mention any specific driver and here are the specifics:

Stop error 8E (c0000005, 804f28da, ed21f154, 00000000)

By stumbling around the 'net the past few months, trying to figure this thing out, I found the instructions from cpc2004 on how to create a debuglog.txt file (THANK YOU!)

So I'm attaching it to this post. First glance would seem to indicate a memory problem? But could it be possible that I never have problems booting up, installing other programs, running other programs (I'd consider myself a power user & my computer is normally on 24/7) and yet each & every single time I try to install iTunes 7 (any version of 7) that I get a BSOD 8E and yet it's still a memory problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.

BTW, I did download & install what appear to be the latest drivers for my chipset from this site http://www.driversplanet.com/device.php?id=101483 - made no difference...

And I've run McAfee Virus scan (since my computer is on 24/7, I have the McAfee security center which runs in the background & updates automatically). I've even tried closing it down & installing iTunes 7xxx & still get BSOD.

See if removing Folder Lock does anything. It's known to cause problems. Post some more logs if it continues to crash.

Well, I'll be darned. That was exactly it! I swear I've spent ~10 hours in the past couple of months dinking with this (not to mention the countless BSODs!)

Thank you SO much!

Take your pick:

You Da Man!

Smooches (I'm a girl!)

Here I thought I was being so diligent, since I have some documents & images that contain sensitive data. I was concerned if someone walked off with my PC... Is there any way to peacefully co-exist with Folder Lock?

Thanks again, SO MUCH!
