I run Win 7 (64-bit) on a Core i7 PC. iTunes always worked fine on Win XP, but now it will usually not recognise or display a CD for me to import. I have followed the suggestions on the iTunes site and my CD/DVD reader/writers are fine.

Question

iTunes always worked well for me in Windows XP, but now I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit) and iTunes usually won't display the CD's contents, won't access Gracenote and won't import. Occasionally, for no apparent reason, it all works as it should.
I have reinstalled iTunes, checked and updated all drivers, turned off (and on) the "Use error correction", checked and verified that my CD/DVD burner/writers are connected and working fine - and still, occasionally it works but mostly it doesn't.
I can get around the problem by using another program (dBpower AMP Converter) to convert all tracks on the CD to Apple Lossless format and save them to "Automatically add to iTunes", and then manually inputting all the music track information in iTunes; but this is cumbersone even if effective, and it annoys me that iTunes seems to have this common glitch that should have been corrected by now.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
