Hello,
I downloaded the most recent Itunes onto my inspiron 1525 laptop with windows vista. When I do so shortly after using it a message comes up saying that the registry settings on Itunes is missing. I have tried re-installing Itunes and installing GEAR drivers. Both have worked, but only for a very short amount of time. Each time I do this I then have to delete my lower and upper filters on my computer because the CD/DVD drive won't show up. It just keeps going into this back and forth cycle and I don't know how to fix it. Please help! Thanks!

Configuration: Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 7.0

Here is what I did to fix my problem with itunes registry settings missing and I couldnt burn cds.

. Make sure you have iTunes inslled (and if you uninstalled the GEAR driver reinstall it) Ok now go to the registry (start->run->regedit.exe) and look for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}". Right click in the right section and select "New->Multi-String Value". Name it "UpperFilters". Right click on it and select "Modify" Enter "GEARAspiWDM" 9press enter to move to the next line and click ok) into the "Value Data". Restart and Voila it should be fixed. If not also try to make a "LowerFilters" and leave it blank.

I tried alot of other things but this worked, I have Windows xp
good luck

Thanks Shine ,
I think you're a genius. The problem with itunes has been driving me up a wall for about a month.
I must have Googled fifteen different solutions to the problem. None worked. Yours did.
Thank you. Keep up the good work.

This problem has dogged me for quite awhile and the two step solution (Gear driver download and the registry change) finally fixed it. Thank you!

Type regedit in the search on Vista then click into that program.

I upgraded to Vista since my first post. I opened some old music files and it started saying the same
thing 'no disc burner found" I downloaded the gear driiver and it worked.
I wish they had another program for my ipod -I would get rid of itunes & never miss it
and all the problems

GOd Bless you all
Shine

Had the same problem, downloading the GEAR driver fixed it instantly. I'm guessing that I was a little too careless with my program removal or system cleaning.

Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem with iTunes and Vista and just fixed it by downloading and installing the GEAR driver at: http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php

NICE!!!! I had same problem, new gear driver install fixed the loss of my cd player. The question, why does itunes 8 remove this from registry? In device mgr (XP) it stated that registry has changed under the cd player and showed a caution. That's not cool.
Shine - your alright, thank you!
