Switching iTunes from mac to pc - having problems - help, please!!!!

I have an iPod and a Shuffle and all my music is in iTunes on my mac.
I want to now have my iTunes on my pc instead. I understand my iPod is not compatible, so I plan to re-format it once I get iTunes all squared away.
I downloaded iTunes onto my pc and...
Issue #1: When I open i Tunes I receive an error (no code) 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." I can hit "ok" on the message and iTunes opens up.
I uninstalled and reinstalled. Same message. True, I have other CD burning software on the computer but don't want to delete it. Don't know if this is really an issue except for having to bypass that error message every time I open iTunes....
Issue #2: I Exported my iTunes library from the mac onto an external hard drive formated in fat32 thinking I could either import the music into iTunes on my pc, or, even better, use the external drive to store the music for use with iTunes on my pc.
Ideally, I'd store the music on the external hard drive and use iTunes on my PC with my iPod and Shuffle.
BUT, after searching the support site and discussions and trying the suggestions I found, I stil have no music showing up in iTunes on the pc.
Can anyone help me? I've spent quite a bit of time on this already and I really can't keep wasting the time. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

First you will want to look for updates to your other CD burning programs that will possiably fix this issue or try uninstalling reinstalling both iTUnes and quicktime.
Im not that mac savy, but on the windows side of things, iTUnes is very picky on what is where.you can recreat the Library on your PC if the file you saved from the mac is a "iTUnes Music Library.xml" file but that would be a hard thing and a mess cuz iTUnes for windows doesn't "Watch" folders. So if that Nickelback song you have was on C:/Mac/Music or however a mac does folders, then it would have to be in the EXACT location in windows. If not your going to have a very sloppy library full of ! marks.
But if you want you can recreate the library following these instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
