Weird problems with itunes

[the_line_131]

So first all of a sudden now when I click on itunes to open it i get a warning message saying that it is 'not a valid windows image' or something.

However after clicking ok, itunes opens. But what's that about??

Secondly and more importantly, itunes doesnt recognise CD's I put in to rip.
The computer recognises them because without itunes open it comes up with the options to play or view folder etc etc.

But itunes doesnt load up the audio CD list to import the songs... nothing happens.

So i can't put my CD's on to itunes right now!!

Please help, what is the solution???

use windows media player 10 to rip and then import the tunes.

seems like i-tunes ripper is troublesome.

Have you tried re-installing iTunes?

I'm pretty sure it's not itunes related now... because the CD's arent able to play through WMP. Could the lens be dirty or something?

It can't be worn out or broken, the laptop isnt old at all.

The computer itself just won't read or play my CD's
