Thank you very much for your help. The problem was in iTUNES. I removed it and
no more problem. I then downloaded a new free version and the problem was
solved.

Dear Robert,
Richards Hipps diagnosis is almost certainly correct.
My "plan de campagne" would be:
1) Use the search function in Windows Explorer to find all
occurrences of sqlite3.dll on your harddisk(s).
2) Make a note of the folder they reside in.
3) Download the current version of sqlite3.dll (zipped) from
http://www.sqlite.org/sqlitedll-3_6_21.zip
4) Unzip or open the zip file, it contains the needed .dll
5) Replace sqlite3.dll in system folders, like C:\Windows\ ,
C:\Windows\System\ , C:\Windows\System32\ and the like, but
only if listed in step 2). Do not replace sqlite3.dll in
application folders yet, like C:\Program Files\ and
everything below that folder.
6) Reboot your computer, verify the error has disappeared.
If so: congratulations.
7) Only if the problem persists, replace all other
occurences of sqlite3.dll , in all other folders you listed
in 2).
The chance this action will introduce new incompatibilities
is small. Most applications will not notice the difference,
Richard Hipp and his team are very careful with upward
compatibility.
Software that doesn't work correctly can be reinstalled.
If that doesn't help, write your exact findings to the
sqlite-users@sqlite.org mailing list. Let us know the
Operating System you use and which version it had, and the
version of the application which has problems.
Disclaimer: I can not take any responsibility for any damage
this repair may cause. If you are uncertain about it, you'd
better have a qualified system administrator look at your
computer.
