try disabling any antiviruses or firewalls
itunes likes to open up weird ports on your computer as well as modify sys files in the background, your other programs may not like it that much
if itunes wasnt coded so badly it would crash less.
The Windows version of iTunes is incredibly crappy. It keeps crashing my two XP computers also. Before I installed iTunes on them both computers had an uptime of 130 days plus.
LOL.... I have both and haven't had any issue whatsoever with itunes on XP... If it wasn't for my music studio apps I wouldn't even have a PC anymore... (rubs hands and waits for wifes approval of new mac pro)
problems with imaging drivers
I was having the same problems and narrowed it down to two potential problems. The issue seems to be an imaging or printer driver. In my case
uninstalling my HP printer (and updating my logitech web cam drivers) fixed the issue.
To narrow down the problem try:
* update the drivers to any imaging devices and printers ( e.g. webcams, digicams and printers).
* Alternatively try uninstalling your printers and imaging devices and seeing if that fixes the problem. Then re-install the software one by one until you find the conflicting device.
Hope that helps.

what are you people talking about
Please people...give me a frigging break and wake up!
How can you flat deny a software problem with Apple when it' clearly a bug that Apple themselves have openly acknowledge on their website and are trying to fix this very moment!
Wake up people and take the blinders off. If you want to go to bed with Apple that's fine but it's Apple's QA that sucks here.
I'm still waiting for them to fix this crash issue with ITunes 8 on Vista (and obviously XP). All was working just fine in the same situation with ITunes 7 so whatever they did not test, I surely hope they come out with a bug fix very soon because mine STILL crashes the instance I plug the damn thing into my Vista OR XP machine running ITunes 8.
Apple, guess what, your OS is not the only environment to QA for! Wake up! The rest of the world isn't going to sit here and listen to your wines about Microsoft.
We should not have to QA our whole PC to find out what workaround will let us use IPhone with ITunes 8. Apple should produce a software package that WORKS in a Windows Environment plain and simple. If a product is this buggy, then who in the hell will want to use it!

Okay just to set it straight. Apple has caused this not windows, your drivers or your printer. Apple is to blame! So that said on to solutions.
1st if you have an HP printer plugged into your comp. then just make sure you turn it off whenever you dock your iPhone. There is no good reason to uninstall your printer and the driver for it. Just remember to turn it off thats all.
2nd if you have an web cam hooked up to your comp make sure that it has the most up to date driver installed.
iphone crashing PC is apples fault not PC
It's a garbage answer that plugging in an iPhone crashes a PC and it's the PC's fault.
With no webcams installed the pc crashes when the iphone is plugged in, but if apple mobile device is uninstalled, the problem goes away, until the next time I want to synch the iPhone or buy a song off iTunes and have to install iTunes all over again, and the problem reoccurs the next time I plug in the iphone with apple mobile device is installed.
All the outdated drivers in the world don't crash the machine until I plug in the iPhone. That makes it Apple's problem. It's 2010 and even with the latest iTunes a 3G iPhone crashes PC's because Apple won't address the problem.
