Windows Vista doesn’t recognise CD Drive after iTunes install

After installing iTunes I can no longer load cd's as it appears that my CD Drive doesn't exist

I've found postings on other sites to repair this by deleting the upper and lower limit keys in the system registry for the device.

However after updating the registry iTunes then doesn't recognize the drive, giving an error on startup and suggesting a re-install. Re-installing just breaks things again.

Does anyone have a solution that allows both iTunes and other apps to access the CD-Drive?

This worked for me when my drive disappeared.
