Exclamation iTunes for Windows

Hy...every single time I open iTunes I receive this message: Windows System components that iTunes requires are missing or corrupted, iTunes might be unable to launch or communicate with iPod or iPhone !!!! After I click ''continue'' iTunes launches normally...my iTunes version is 7.4.3 and when I upgrade to a new version the program doesn't start anymore, even though it does appear in Windows Task Manager...so I have to downgrade back to the 7.4.3 version and it is very frustrating...I don't recall anybody having this problem with itunes like I am and I haven't found any solution, not even on the Apple website...I'm running MS XP SP2 Professional...
P.S. A couple of months ago I reinstalled my operating system because of a technical problem and before reinstalling I didn't uninstall iTunes and after reinstalling Windows I noticed that a lot of the old iTunes and iPod files where still on my hard drive...could this have affected the program in any way ??

I would say uninstall, delete every trace, delete reg files and reinstall.
