Alright, here we go. I attempted to merge my library from WMP into Itunes. I followed the instructions from Itunes and it told me to take out the itunes.lib file. In doing so, I hit a snag and Itunes then told me that the cd/dvd player would not function properly. Well, of course it doesn't right now. If I put in a dvd My Computer doesn't even recognize it.

So I then folwed the instructions on how to get it back and went into the registry and took out the upper Filters line out of this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.

I should know better than to do anything like that. I would like to get my dvd/rw drive back to where I can play and copy movies to my iphone, and get this resolved. In the end I was able to get both libraries merged to Itunes and back up all 26 GB of music to another drive. Currently itunes works fine with the above exception. I can still sync fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I have read up on this issue from other members and tried the whole delete upperfilters and not reboot, but I have not had any luck in fixing it. Also I did do a system restore and picked a day before this stuff happened. I didn't get any change at all with the registry key.
Yet another note.

Windows Vista Business 32 bit
Intel E8400 Core2 Duo 3.0 GHz
4 GB of Ram
750 GB hdd

Basic dvd-rom and HP 940 dvd/rw (this is one that is giving me problems) as is there are no drivers top d/l from HP, I already checked and the device manager says it is up to date and no problems.


just a side note...
One thing I had done was install Office 2007 but that didn't have any effect on this. however since I did that restore point, I have to go back and repair Office 2003. Now all of that works fine. Eventually I will put Office 2007 back on buit only when this is all done and solved.

I ran the cdgone file and it seems to be working. Thank you.

I also uninstalled Handbrake after I thought about this for a few minutes.

The message I got from iTunes was: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for
importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.

Any ideas? I did reinstall iTunes once but that was when Handbrake was on there. So I am thinking IO should reinstall it now since I removed it. That sound right?
