    once iTunes looses the input focus, the CDROM device disappears inthe iTunes application

    Dear all,

    I am running iTunes 7.3.1.3 and Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP
    Pavilion laptop.



    When importing a CD into iTunes and minimize iTunes (or click on another
    application so that the input focus moves), the importing is interrupted
    and iTunes does not seem to know the CDROM anymore.

    Once, iTunes has the input focus back, it asks me, whether I want to
    import the CD and starts from the beginning.

    That cannot be the wanted behavior?

    Help is most appreciated.

    Regards,
    Holger

    I know this won't help your problem but it is not normal iTunes behavior. I
    am using the same version itune and it continues to import even minimized or
    if another application is started.

    Thank you for the comment, Paul. I have reinstalled iTunes and now it is
    working fine. The installer complained, that the Windows autorun feature
    was switched off and switched it back on. I assume, the funny behavior
    of iTunes was somehow related to that...

    Thank you,
    Holger
