Itunes crashing my computer?

Michael asked in Q&A:


I have installed itunes on my desktop and my laptop. When I got my ipod touch I connected it to my desktop and started getting things going. Since then, everytime I plug my touch to my desktop, it crashes. (not just itunes, my whole computer). Unfortunately I didnt have System Restore turned on for some reason so I cant go back. Now, my laptop has the exact same OS as my desktop, but it hasnt crashed but one time. Ive been having to connect the touch to my laptop when i want to sync or charge. I have Windows XP pro SP3 btw.

Now, I have read alot of post and I have tried everything from completely uninstalling itunes (atleast 6-7 times by now), uninstalling and reinstalling all my usb ports/drivers. There were no saved images on the touch either.
I havent had the touch plugged up to my desktop in a couple days but it still crashes from time to time when I have itunes running. Ive checked my system logs after it reboots and this is the closest thing I get to an error:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0×1000007e (0xc0000005, 0×804f04fe, 0xba4f7a68, 0xba4f7764). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini020609-01.dmp.

I tried looking for it too, but couldnt find anything. I REALLY dont want to have to use my laptop exclusively for my touch since most of my data and music is on my desktop.

If anyone knows exactly whats wrong or how to fix it, please let me know.
