7.7.1 Registry Setting Used by iTune Drivers error message
The auto update suggested updating my iTunes to 7.7.1.
When I tried to download, the install failed.
I downloaded 7.7.1 manually from the iTunes support website. On installation, I received the message 'Registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing' and then something along the lines that other CD/DVD burning software have caused this problem. It suggests re-installing iTunes, which I have tried to do but I receive the same message.
I have not installed any other CD/DVD burning software since the PC was built about a year ago and have been running iTunes successfully since that time.
Apart from standard Vista Home Premium related CD/DVD software, Nero 7 Essentials is installed (and I frequently use this to burn CD/DVDs - infact I used this yesterday before doing the 7.7.1 install today so I presume this could be the problem. I also have HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one printer/scanner has support software installed and Cyberlink DVD software installed but cannot recall the last time this was used.
Any thoughts please?
I recently had the same problem, and I fixed it by downloading and installing these drivers:

I use an ipod classic 120G. When I try to launch itunes I first of all see a box stating "The registry settings used by 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" This I have done. obviously I cannot burn CDs but worse still is my ipod is not being recognised by itunes and will not sync. I have not installed any new burning softeware. Any suggestions please?

Maybe someone can help me - lately, I keep receiving this error message when I want to burn a CD: "The Registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing & burning CD's is missing. Please re-install iTunes." I've re-installed a number of times and it still won't burn CD's. I can play the music through my PC. I just can't burn CD's. any ideas?
Same problem as me. No answers though. Also I can't access the itunes store. There is something missing in the registry but what? Seeing as your post was sometime ago it looks like there is no help.

Basically we had a new motherboard fitted, we then found our CD/DVD drive had not been reconnected. After this has been done, when we try to burn a cd from itunes, we get the following message:-
The Registry settings used by itune drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. Reinstall Itunes.
I've removed and reinstalled itunes a few times now and we still have the same issue. HELP please.I'd start with the following document, with one modification.

When connecting to Itunes, it shows the following error: registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds are missing.
I have edited the registery, downloaded the Gear drivers, uninstalled and installed itunes, and the error still appears.
What else can I do. Cannot connect any of our iphones or ipods to itunes because of this error.I have edited the registery,
We'd better have a closer look at the keys to see what's going on.
Can you post a screenshot of the contents of the key you've been editing, please? Include all of the regedit screen, including the left-hand column. Save the screenshot to an image file, and insert the image file in a reply by clicking the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. -
Yes, it's the "Registry settings used by iTunes ...." issue which has been a problem going back at least to 2009, according to the posts here. You would think that Apple would make an effort to solve this, but apparently it's not of concern to them. Style - yes; function - no. Sigh.
In any case, I've read many of the ~200 threads and have, without success ....
* Reloaded iTunes
* Deleted iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support
* Verified that iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
* Installed Gear drivers
System: Windows 7, 64-bit, 8GB RAM, all programs/updates/drivers current. Toshiba/Samsung CD player (current drivers).
Occasionally in this process iTunes has behaved properly when a CD is loaded, but then it reverts to dysfunction. Most frustratingly, the error message appeared immediately after that deleted/verified song and dance described above and recommended by Apple.
I have not gotten into messing with my registry because, well, if that's the level of user involvement required here then the program is truly broken. When I owned a 1959 Triumph I often had to tinker with the carbuerator, adjust the timing and use an ether starter spray, but automobiles seem to have progressed since then. I thought that Apple products "just worked." No. I've used Macs in the past and though I'm not a Windows fanboi, my work requires it and I've found Win 7 remarkably stable over the past 3 years. I've NEVER had an issue like this with any program (and I've installed/deleted/used many dozens).
Is this a fixable problem or should I just dump iTunes for something else that actually works? Opinions and suggestions appreciated.

The registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing or burnning.....
I have installed iTunes 7.3.1. When I start iTunes, I get an error window titled "iTunes Setup Assistant" The text in the window is "The reggistry setings used by itunes drivers for importing or burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes." I then click on the ok button and itunes loads just fine but without the burn option. I have uninstalled Roxio Creator 8, Yahoo Picassa2 and any other softeware that might have a disc burning option. I then uninstalled itunes, rebooted and then reinstalled itunes. I still get the same message. What else can I do to get iTunes to be able to imnport and burn discs?xz
First try rebooting and repairing.
Reboot the PC (very important) and then do a repair install of iTunes. In Add/Remove Programs, select iTUnes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy there, check for a device filter conflict in registry, as per the following document:

Registry settings used by Itunes drivers not found
I just installed the latest version of itunes after having an old version previously installed. Every time I run Itunes now I receive an error message. It says something about registry settings missing that are used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs. It suggests re installing itunes and uninstalling any other CD burning software. I have reinstalled itunes perhaps 6 times now and i have not installed any other CD burning software - ever - windows media player was always installed. I don't think WMP should be interferring though since it didn't before. I receive this error message everytime i run itunes. Also, this may be related, I cannot consolidate my library. Everytime i select the option nothing happens. itunes does not react whatsoever.
toonz here is what it says now, but like I said it is working fine now.

"The registry setting used by itunes for burning CDs are missing"
Whenever I start up Itunes... I get this error message.
"The registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing & burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall Itunes".
Problem is... when I reinstall itunes nothing changes.
I've got Roxio cd-burning software installed on my computer. Is there a conflict with this software?
I can't burn songs from Itunes on to a CD. I haven't tried importing a CD or DVD but I'm guessing that won't work either.
Any advice??

TS3299 Registry settings used by Itunes drivers for buring CDs are missing
So incredibly stuck on this and I have already removed and reinstalled Itunes about 3 times. I kept getting the message that "registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDS are missing. I followed all the instruction and even went to the Registry Editor and right clicked UpperFilters and was shocked to see that GEARAspiWDM" was already listed there--so the warning I keep getting that this driver is missing is wrong. Now what? Please help. I do not know how to work around this. Thank you
