My wife recently bought herself a new PC and installed her usual apps on it (iTunes) and some new ones (including Gimp). There was an odd issue where once you closed iTunes, it would not re-launch, but would if logged off and back on again.
After trawling t’interweb for answers, I came across a solution that worked on a helpful board somewhere, but I don’t remember the link. Basically, find the file ASPDaemon.exe in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\, and either rename it (i.e. ASPDaemon.exe.old), or you can allegedly run it in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3. I renamed it and it’s worked fine ever since.
Might help some people…
