I haven't verified the process myself, you will need to decide for yourself if it is worth trying.
I think you might getaway with just the following part of the method:
+Restart PC
Make hidden files visible. (Windows Explorer Tools>>Folder options)
Navigate to C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data and look for an alphanumerically named folder containing an 'x86' subfolder. Mine was called {3276BE95AF08_429F_A64FCA64CB79BCF6} but it might change from system to system.
Copy this folder to the Desktop.
Open the copied folder on the Desktop, open the x86 sub-folder, right-click the GearAspiWDM.inf file and choose Install.
Reboot.+

I am using OS 64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium and recently updated the latest version of iTunes. (I only have this CD burning software on my Laptop). Ever since updating, I received the message 'Registry settings for the iTune drivers are missing for CD burning'. The drivers for Lower and uppper filters in the registry are missingand I now have no optical drive. I have unistalled and reinstalled Itunes and manually entered the filters. Have tried everything including something called GEAR driver installer which was suggested on several technical sites. Everything was working fine in iTunes until I updated it.. It's strange I can still import music but not burn?? Friend s have told me they have ha dthe same problem when updating iTunes but resolved the problem by uninstalling/reinstalling or altering registry keys.

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

"registry settings for importing and burning are missing..."

I have installed itunes and the appropriate quicktime, but am not able to import any music. When I put cds in the drive, they do not even show up. I'm not sure if there is some other program blocking this importing or showing up of cds, but I get a message that says,
"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."
However, the reinstalling doesn't fix it, and I'm not sure what to change or fix about the other cd player/burners on my computer to make itunes work properly (the laptop is new, and came with windows media, jukebox, etc...). How do I make itunes the default cd burner? Or how do I fix this problem otherwise?
Thanks.

ITunes says registry settings for importing and burning CDs or DVDs are missing.

i get a message after installing itunes 10.7 that registry settings are missing for importing and burning CD/DVDS. Says probably due to installing other burning sofware. Re-install ituenes. I never installed anything between the older 10.6 and the new 10.7........just updated when it said new Apple software was available. The update process seemed to delete the 10.6 install and then re-install a new version of itunes, 10.7. Then the registry settings error message started coming up each time I start itunes. What's the proper way to re-install?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I may have deleted some files...as I recently uninstalled a burning software, but even re-installing that software has not fixed the issue.

Missing registry settings for importing and burning?

When I start iTunes, I keep getting the message saying that "registry settings are missing for importing and burning CDs and DVDs. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
I've reinstalled iTunes ten times (and I've done the "Repair" option through Microsoft Window's Control Panel). Nothing works. I keep getting this message.
(I have QuickTime and RealPlayer already installed on my computer, in addition to the Microsoft Windows cd burning tools.)
Can anyone please tell me what I need to do?

I too have experienced the same problem. The fix to add an UpperFilters with "GEARAspiWDM" followed by a return only resolved the error message relating to the warning indicating that the iTunes drivers used for importing or burning CD's & DVD's are missing. While I can now import CDs to iTunes 8 still no luck in getting it to burn. I have installed the GEAR drivers and followed the steps in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976
but to no avail. I also tried the suggestion related to Vista that appears below but to no avail. Hope Apple has spent at much time trying to eliminate this problem as I have trying to fix it!
From GEAR works:
It appears that the AFS driver does not meet Windows Vista driver signing requirements and thus is not compatible with Vista. As a result, the AFS driver prevents the GEARAspiWDM.sys driver from functioning correctly resulting in CD/DVD drives ‘disappearing’ in Windows Explorer and applications using the GEARworks API, such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost.
Solution:
Disabling the AFS driver appears to resolve the issue.
This can be done by renaming the afs.sys driver file in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory to afs.txt and rebooting the system. After the reboot the CD/DVD drives should re-appear in Windows Explorer and be available in GEAR and GEARworks powered product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost).
Note that disabling the AFS driver may result in the loss of the CD recording functionality in the above mentioned software that uses the AFS driver.

Registry settings for burning CDs/DVDs missing when Itunes installed

I have recently had to reinstall ITunes following a computer crash. I am unable to burn to CD - when I start up ITunes I am told that the "registry settings are missing" and am told to reinstall, which I have done without success. I have not loaded any other CD/DVD burning software, and can burn CDs using other programmes. Any ideas? Thank you.

Registry settings for I-Tunes burner missing

I have had I-Tunes for several years and have never had a problem before. Recently a start-up message has started opening that says, "The registry settings used by the I-Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install i Tunes." So I have re-installed i Tunes several times to no avail. I'm hoping there is some techy out there who can help me out! Thank you!

I got same message, tried almost every resolution i.e. installed gear drivers, uninstalled itunes step-by-step and reinstalled. I finally got so frustrated, I finally tried the resolution noted below:
START > Run... regedit
* Go to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
* Rename UpperFilters entry to UpperFilters_backup
* Create new entry of type REGMULTISZ (multi-string value) In Registry Editor, click Edit -> New -> Multi-String Value
* Name new entry UpperFilters
* Add values that are in UpperFilters_backup to new entry by double clicking it and typing in values that are in UpperFilters_backup.
* Make sure GEARAspiWDM values is entered so that it is after the 'redbook' value (if it existed UpperFilters_backup) but before any Roxio driver values ('Cdralw2k' and 'pwd_2k, if they existed), and a carriage return after each value, including last one.
* Reboot.
I was very hesitant to try this, but it was the only thing to do. There was one hitch to this. The respective file 4D36E965... did not have the UpperFilters entry. So in my case, I exported the 4D36E965 entry to my desktop as a backup just in case. Then I followed the instructions to create the entry as detailed in the instructions, added the entry as noted, rebooted, and now the message no longer appears when I open iTunes. I have no idea what causes this problem. Maybe I'll find out when I try another application. Just make sure to follow the instructions to the letter. Good luck.

I have uninstalled itunes and its files assoc. with itunes( apple application support, bonjour, etc) and reinstalled itunes. I have done this 3 times with no changes. I then went into regedit and followed those instructions with no changes. I am so frustrated, any suggestions?

I then went into regedit and followed those instructions with no changes.
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.
For example, this is what I'm seeing when I look at my key:
