Problem Launching Quicktime/Itunes due to unwritable/unreadable directory HELP

[ClubberLang]

Problem..

Both Itunes and Quicktime refuse to launch. When I launch them It starts the installation of the program as opposed to launching the program. The Installatioin eventaully tells me that there was an error writing to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer


When I use windows explorer and try to manually delete the directory the system hangs as soon as I click on the folder.

When I try to uninstall I tunes or Quicktime I get an error message related to this unwritable directory.

Pls help

Do you have access rights to do those things to the directory?

[ClubberLang]

Yup. I am the admin.

[goofball]

but have you checked the rights to that folder?
Have you tried removing it in safe mode?

[ClubberLang]

for some reason, I can't get into safemode. I get a BSOD.

I have also tried removing the directory using cmd prompt. That doesn't work either.

Could it be some type of hard drive corruption?

[goofball]

Possible.

You could try using a WinPE type disk to see if you can delete that directory.
Are there other directories inside it? It could be those directories causing trouble.
