CD won't burn on iTunes [is iTunes a bad word for a Sony site!]

[orn8one]

I have posted this is another thread but I think iTunes problems deserves it' own thread, I can only find old ones.
Btw I am not a newbie, I have been a member here for 5 years at least and I am writing this on my 4th Vaio notebook, my login didn't work. Nothing works on my new computer!
I can't burn a cd from my iTunes library. I get the message:
"Disc Burner or software not found"
This appears in the top iTunes display window where the song title usually appears.
I can play a retail cd using both iTunes and Windows Media Player.
I have no warning signs on device manager.
I have uninstalled Sonic Stage in case there was a clash.
I have a band new AR41S with vista ultimate. I used the upgrade option from home premium [which the laptop was sold with]. I wanted the system restore feature which isn't available on home premium.
I had no problem like this on my previous Vaio, a wonderful workhorse. I have nothing but problems on this computer. Many features don't work, maybe this is due to Vista or drivers but not burning a cd iTunes drives me the maddest.
I can't find a thread about iTunes problems so I have started this one.
Any shortcuts for using this forum i.e. to get to the last post first would be appreciated as I can't find any controls and the acending/decending doesn't work. I had to go forward 4 pages at a time to get to the last post.
Many thanks, in hope!

Hi orn8one and welcome to Club Vaio,

I have already replied in the other long thread.

Are you using the latest version of iTunes? It may be worth reinstalling it.

Are you logged on as an Administrator? This message often pops up with iTunes on limited accounts.

Have you got Daemon Tools installed? If so you need to install the addon to Daemon tools that upgrades the SCSI connection and fixes the iTunes bug. it's called SPTD v1.50 X86 and it's at this site:

Uninstalling Daemon Tools is not enough as it leaves a couple of drivers behind.

Hi,
I replied in the long thread but I don't know if you saw it. Reply copied below but one thing to add. I am looged on to iTunes as administrator but when I run diagnostics it says currant user not administrator. I can't see how to change it.
Following reply from yesterday:
Thank you for all the tips.
I have reinstalled iTunes and I have ver 7.326 from memory.
By logged on do you mean logged on to the computer as administrator? If so I am logged on as Amanda and I think I am the administrator, I will double check.
My iTunes account shouldn't be limited, it's lets me buy music! I also ran repair on iTunes and that didn't help.
I don't think I have Daemon Tools installed. I read on web pages about that issue. If I have Daemon Tools I can't find them. Can you tell me where to look in case I have missed them. I looked in programs and did a search for them - they didn't turn up.
To my simplistic mind iTunes can't 'see' the cd/dvd driver and I don't know how to direct it.
The disc I used was a TDK cd-r80, perhaps I should try a different brand!
Thanks so much, especially for the last post box tip!

Hi

I've replied by PM.

I can only suggest running iTunes with Administrative priviledges.
