iTunes install removing CD/DVD burner from Vista Home Premium

This is driving me crazy - It used to work - but for some reason an iTunes
update made the CD burner drive (Sony DRU-710A) to disapear from the system
on reboot. I've searched and found out that it has something to do with the
upperfilter registry setting
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]
the value is "GEARAspiWDM" - for some reason this setting causes the OS to
not recognize that there is a drive installed on the system. If I remove
this one registry setting, the system will recognize and show the drive, but
iTunes shows an error that a registry setting is missing and it can't burn
CDs. so the only way to get it to work is to remove the setting, reboot
the system, then resinstall iTunes, then i can burn a cd but then if i
reboot without removing that registry entry , then the system won't see the
drive (iTunes can't find the drive either if the system doesn't see
it)....I've updated the firmware of the drive, I've even installed the
latest Gear Software driver (which adds these registry entries) - Does
anyone know why Vista Home Premium won't recognize the Drive with the
upperfilter registry value in ?

oh - and I've tried uninstalling iTunes and going back to a previous
version, but that didn't work.

Thanks.
