Answer:
Go to the first folder that contains your iTunes music, usually the "My Music" folder. Right-click on that folder, select properties and uncheck the "Read Only" part. This solved the problem for me.


Or


You can just Right-Click the iTunes icon on your desktop then click proerties and unclick "Read Only" that is much faster.


If neither of the above work:


Open the registry: Run regedit
Make sure you are at the top of the registry: at "My Computer"
Click Edit - Find, search for "My Music" without the quotes and select Values
For each of around 6 instances, make sure the data points to either of:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\My Music
or
\My Documents\My Music
After you make all changes, Reboot the computer or log-off and log-in.
