I’ve uninstalled iTunes normally twice, then I did it again and deleted anything that looked like a settings folder. The store still only loads twice. I’ve changed the LAN Settings, checking and then unchecking “use a proxy server”. I set IE to default settings. I made sure Windows Firewall was letting iTunes through, by turning it off and then on again. I put netsh winsock reset into the command prompt and rebooted.

None of this has worked. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Oh, and APSDaemon, with the description of Apple Push, always grabs about 45% of the cpu cycles. There’s no way that’s supposed to be right.
