A few quick ones to throw at you. Windows version, iTunes version (8 I'll guess). Amount of RAM? Amount of free Hard Disk space?

I'm assuming Vista. Have you installed any new codec packs recently?

You could try disabling Data Execution Prevention for itunes:
Start-> Control Panel ->System & Maintenance -> System
Select Advanced System Settings -> Performance -> Settings -> Data Execution Prevention
Either 'add' itunes.exe to the list of files (preferred), or select the first checkbox (DEP for Windows files only). See if iTunes runs now.

Another option which seems to work is to remove and reinstall quicktime.

all the music should be in C:\users\[your username]\music and when i have uninstalled itunes before, it never deleted my library.

also, install itunes and disable any firewall you have running, then try opening itunes but dont forget to enable the firewall again just incase the firewall is blocking it from launching
