ITunes Drivers for Burning CDs

Question

I recently began receiving the message, "iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs cannot be found. Please reinstall iTunes." I reinstalled iTunes from my factory disc and the message still appears. I then copied my music library to another directory, and reinstalled iTunes and I'm still getting the same message. Additionally, when I tried to create a playlist from music I had downloaded from a CD, I get another message, "The song_ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Any suggestions on what might be causing these messages? I'm not very tech-savvy so would appreciate any help!

hiya!
(i'm just replying about the drivers message.)
"iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs cannot be found. Please reinstall iTunes."
that sort of message is often caused by a device filters conflict in your registry.
if the reinstall of the latest version that pac_80 recommends (it's a good idea) doesn't seem to help matters, there's some useful (somewhat advanced) techniques for tracking down the conflicts given here:

.. but if you'd prefer to try some quicker and dirtier techniques, post back and we can run through those too.
