Itunes, Safari, Firefox, others quit with Runtime Error [unsolved]

I’ve been getting this error more and more on my XP machines lately.

Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Apple’s software in particular has been giving me this problem. I found this thread which simply states to update itunes with software update:
http://forums.techguy.org/multimedia/581031-itunes-runtime-error.html

That’s good for the constant itunes crash, which was happening every time I opened the application. One thing that sucks is that this FORCES you to upgrade iTunes, and ‘upgrades’ have been generally more and more restrictive downgrades with iTunes lately. (Wonder if this was partly intentional on Apple’s part.)

What this doesn’t solve though is why it keeps happening with other applications. What library is getting corrupted I wonder? Why does it happen sporadically with firefox and safari as well on two of my different XP machines?

    I noticed that earlier today I was getting a message about the same time on my mac. It was “A newer version of iTunes is available (0.0). Do you wish do update?”. It happens just as the program finishes loading. I’ll bet the 0.0 is giving the thing fits (causing the crash). Updating fixes the problem, because there isn’t a newer version. I’ll try disconnecting from the internet and let you know if that lets me load up iTunes.

    Dang if that’s not it! Here’s how to fix:1. Disconnect your computer from the internet (just unplug your network cable).2. Open iTunes, and go to the Preferences option in the Edit menu.3. On the General tab, uncheck “Check for Updates Automatically”.That fixed it for me!

    This kind of software are called dvd to itunes transfer.
