Prior to iTunes opening a notice appears stating to re-install as certain drivers missing to burn CD's etc

Hi, Just recently, whenever I open iTunes in my Windows 8.1 Desktop PC a notice appears - see attached - asking me to re-install iTunes. I have and it makes no difference, it still appears. The daft thing is that after iTunes opens I CAN burn CD's etc; so what is going on?
Thanks for any advice to resolve.

Is this 'fix' safe to you on W8.1 please?
I've been assuming so, but mostly on the basis of negative evidence ... I've been looking around the various Apple and Microsoft troubleshooting documents, and they've been listing treatments related to this sort of manual filter edit without saying you shouldn't use this on Windows 8/8.1. (In cases where there's, for example, a specific alternative fixit for a Windows 8.x issue, they'll give links to the new 8.1 fixit as well as the older fixits. Or where there's instructions that are specific to a particular operating system, like XP, they'll say for XP only or something like that. I haven'e seen anything like that that would suggest that the filter edits are only applicable to XP, Vista or 7, not 8.x.)
If you'd like to doublecheck, it might be worth posting over at the Microsoft Windows 8 communities asking for clarification. (Provide a link back to this thread to give them some context for your query. Fingers crossed, one of the content providers there will be able to put you straight:

  • Firefox.exe has "disappeared" so I can't open it. If I download and install new version will I lose all my bookmarks etc?

    I've had a lot of crashes, some just firefox, some the whole computer. In process of migrating to new machine so wasn't overly concerned. But after a restart today, I found I could not get firefox to open at all. After finding the system searching for firefox.com, I checked program files\mozilla firefox and firefox.exe is not there. A search showed it not to be anywhere. Not ready to stop using this machine just yet. Any way to get firefox.exe reloaded without losing all my related stuff??

    As long as you do not delete your Firefox personal settings or application data, they should remain after a reinstall.
    Don't run the Firefox uninstaller, simply run the installer that you download. This will just install over your previous installation.
    <b>Note:</b> To be 100% safe, I would recommend backing up your Firefox application data folder.

    ANY IDEAS?..THANKS

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?

    Hi noswam123,
    If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open that document is with the password. You will have to get that password from the person who created the PDF.

  • Trying to open the iTunes installer but nothing appears.

    Hello People.
    I've just downloaded the iTunes latest version (I have never tried to install any version of iTunes before) and basically the installer doesn't open. I try to execute the installer file and nothing appears, even an error message or something.
    Anyone has ever seen something like this? Anyone help me fixing this problem?
    I have an iPod nano and I do need iTunes (that's the biggest issue). I use Windows XP Pro.
    Thanks for the attention, looking forward to hearing you.
    ps: I'm brazilian and my english is terrible, so forgive me about the mistakes please.

    I ve checked several forums in the net and a think that this might help us with the issue.
    1st, check that you have inside your c:\windows\system32 the following dlls:
    sccbase.dll
    sccsccp.dll
    slbcsp.dll
    slbiop.dll
    wmasf.dll
    wmidx.dll
    slbrccsp.dll
    And you need to register most of them. to register them you ve to execute the command : regsvr32 xxx.dll
    Doing this and making sure of uninstalling any trace of apple old installations (like old msi files) i ve reached to make the quicktime installer run !
    Tonight i will try testing to install quicktime first and then the famous itunes !
    The thing is that i am not sure if reinstalling windows will solve the issue (i ve formated my disck 2 months ago)
    I ll let you know if i progress with this issue.
    Tks.

  • Itunes opens briefly then runtime error appears & itunes closes please help

    when I open my itunes and error message appears and then it closes. My library is still all there but it only opens for a moment.
    the error says:
    Microsoft C++ Visual Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

    okay ... let's check on something else if QT doesn't seem to be the problem.
    let's try launching iTunes after a selective startup, as per the following document:
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    does it launch without the error this time?
    if it does launch properly, could you post back with a complete list of the Startup items that you had to disable? (exact spelling and capitalisation, please.)

    Try this:
    inside the Microsoft Office directory of the local applications folder, you will find a sub-directory entitled “Office” which contains the application called “Microsoft Database Utility”. When executed the application offers you the option of rebuilding the database. Choosing this option will fix the issues and create a backup.
