iTunes error 4000 burning CD

Hello,

Up until I tried to burn my playlists to an audio cd, I thought iTunes for
Win XP was a good program. However when I select my playlist and click burn,
I get "unknown error 4000", and the burn is cancelled.

Things I've tried to remedy the problem:

-Change burning speeds from 1x through 48x
-Make sure the disc is recognized. It is.
-Try audio cd, mP3, data cd.
-tried cd-RW and cd-R.
-Reinstalled iTunes
-I have scanned the iTunes help files and website. The closest thing I got
to an answer from their crappy forums was, "haha burn in hell windows users".

I'm surprised that no one else has posted about this problem on these
forums. from a few other posts I've come across out there in cyber space, it
seems there are thousands of us having this error 4000 problem, but I haven't
found an answer yet.

Please, I'm begging you for some help. I hate to think that songs I've
purchased, songs that are begging to get played from my stereo, are trapped
in my PC. Music is life.

Regards,

-Fred
