hi janet I just installed I tunes on my netbook had no problems but one
thing I noticed that there was a check box saying make I tunes my main media player, I unchecked this as I like vlc as my media player so what I would do in your case is do a system restore like you said and uncheck that check box

Hi all.

I installed iTunes recently and everything seemed to be OK.  Then I
tried to play the CD I got from the Taste The Apples event run by BCAB
that I attended and my CD-ROM drive didn't seem to work properly so
couldn't play the CD.

I uninstalled iTunes and have just reinstalled it and it came up with
this message as I was installing it, and wouldn't let me continue
until I'd selected OK.

Message begins:

The software you are installing for this hardware:

DVD/CD-ROM drives

has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with
Windows XP. (then there was a link to find out why testing is
important, which I admit I didn't look at).

This hardware will not be installed.  Contact your system administrator.

Message ends

So this obviously means that my DVD/CD-ROM drive isn't installed which
is why it wasn't working and wouldn't play the CD.

But why?  iTunes isn't an operating system, so why did it not install
my CD drive.  And why did it need to be installed when it's already
installed?
Is
there anything I can do to overcome this as I have a lot of CDs I'd
like to be able to play on my PC, but would also like to get to grips
with iTunes as I now have an iPhone and want to set up an account to
buy apps?

Even when I uninstalled iTunes the CD drive didn't work because it was
obviously not installed, so I think the only way I could have got it
working was to do a System Restore to a point before I installed
iTunes for the first time.

Help!!! I'm getting very frustrated.

Cheers
