Hi gokay45,
I suggest you take a look at this knowledge base article to completely uninstall all of iTunes and Quicktime, and then install a fresh copy.
It seems that some users installing iTunes 8 on Windows systems are encountering an error message:
“ERROR: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing
and burning cds and dvds are missing… Please re-install iTunes”
iTunes uses GEAR software drivers for importing and burning CD’s &
DVD’s. Re-installing (or installing the latest GEAR drivers seems to
fix this problem. No reboot required for this install.
You can get the current GEAR drivers here: http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
If this does not fix your problem download a fresh installer for iTunes here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Uninstall iTunes, reboot, & then do a fresh install of iTunes.
This fix is from: http://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/registry_settings_missing

I found the solution at Gearsoftware.com
The Audio FIle System (AFS ) driver is not compatible with Windows Vista.
I changed the driver file name as instructed and TaDa...it fixed my problem with itunes and Windows.
Hope this helps you.
