Perhaps the preference files (.plist) are corrupted? You could A)  
search for and delete the preference file for iTunes, B) download and  
use Preferential Treatment to locate and isolate any corrupted  
preference files, or C) [dare I say it?] run AppleJack. I suppose  
there is really option D)  put up with it. I'd leave that option for  
last, though
