serious itunes question

[brtnboarder3241 5,000+ posts]

well recently i tried burning a cd using itunes (sadly) and i get an unknown error.. (4000) it starts to burn the cd and on the first track it says writing or w.e for about 10-15 seconds then it just says canceling burn..and spits out the cd with no burn on it... last time i burned a cd was prbly 3 weeks ago and i havent changed anything on my computer since then..

i uninstalled any program that i changed in that time, repaired and reinstalled itunes.. ctrl+alt+del and shutting down processes.. it wont burn

same if i use any other cd burning program..

if anyone has had this problem and knows the fix for it help would be greatly appreciated..thanks

Uninstall and then reinstall the driver for the cd burner and Itunes.

I found my own answer. It seems that most people are able to fix the "4000

error" by simply going into control panel>add/remove

programs>iTunes>change/uninstall and click on "repair" (NOT UNINSTALL). This

reinstalls iTunes as the main cd burning program and overides any competing

burning software, like nero for example. Don't worry you won't lose your

music. If you're nervous about losing your music, copy it before you perform

the repair.
