I would not pay $130 for something, which to me sounds like, doing a repair install of Vista and Reinstalling iTunes, but then again I fix computers part time for a living.
Maybe try uninstalling iTunes and trying burrrn
burrrn.net - The home of Burrrn and Mr QuestionMan
It really is impossible to say for sure if it will work, just by the little info they are giving you. But I can tell you one thing. There are lots of better players/burners out there.
The easiest way is to just pay up. That way you avoid any hassle.
