Advent 9617 laptop error 2131 when burning audio CD in itunes

I purchased my advent 9617 notebook 2 weeks ago and am unable to burn audio discs as I keep getting an error code, "the attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred 2131". I've been reading about this problem with dell notebooks and have tried to install their patch but its not compatable with my drive. I called my support number and was taken through a few steps to rectify it to no avail. When I told him everything else worked fine burning he said they would not support me as it is a software problem with itunes.

Has anyone else had the same probs with an Advent machine? Also can anyone help with a patch please.

Heres a diagnotic test I ran
