Okay, find the file in Explorer and move it elsewhere. Then go back into iTunes and retry deleting it. If this works, don't bother with a restore (obviously). 
and whenevr i try to restore my ipod it says cant install firmware on connected ipod and the ipod hardware and the updater firmware is not compatible
there'll be a reference to it in your library yes, but hopefully without the original it won't crash when you select it for deletion
If you delete it from the computer, you'll still get a link to it from iTunes but it'll have a grey exclamation mark next to it (once it's worked out the file doesn't exist) and hopefully will let you simply remove the name from your library.
Hopefully this'll help however the fact your computer isn't letting you restore the firmware is worrying.
FWIW, you don't have to completely delete the file, just move it. Personally, I'd just drop it in the Recycle Bin but refrain from emptying.

So if it is this video file...where did you get this file from? If you don't want to lose that file then put it on a thumb drive or something(for the time being) to work out your itunes kinks.

yea i deleted that file..it worked..the onli problem left is that there liek more songs..idk its hard to explain..liek theres the library right..with like videos and stuff in it..and there another icon on the side with the ipod icon and it doesnt have ne videos..but that section is wats acutally on the ipod
true enough.mad jew said:Although the link I provided above gives you the latest version, which may be advisable.
sometimes it's easier to start at the bottom and work your way up is all.if you can, it would be good to download the latest iPod updater (like MJ said) and run it, restore the iPod (wiping everything on it), and then reload the stuff you want from the library onto it
and i wanna get wats in the library on the ipod but it doesnt work..theres liek 2 sections of tracks
