unknown error 4280: please help.

For some reason, the newest version of iTunes (7.0.2) has completely locked up my burner in any application, though I can still rip CDs. Even reinstalling an old version has not worked. I have heard this is due to some GearWorks program that comes attached to newer versions of iTunes. Here are the CD/DVD drive diagnostics:

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
TOSHIBA Satellite M35X
iTunes 7.0.2.16
CD Driver 2.0.6.1
CD Driver DLL 2.0.6.1

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

After several failed attempts at solving my burning issues with Apple support (who had no idea what to do) I have found something out. The new "Protected AAC" formatted songs will cause a "failed burn" error message. I own 2 different computers and have tried 2 different types of CD-Rs. I have found that Windows Media Player will burn just fine, and that in iTunes I can burn all my old music (under "kind" look for "AAC audio file") just fine also. So I seem to have norrowed it down to Apple's new protected formats called "Protected AAC audio file"

So far this is all I've got. Anyone else have any ideas
