Computer not Authorized

I have downloaded music on this computer previously on Itunes, and this time it comes up and says my computer is not Authorized, so I went through the Authorization process and the message comes up and says this computer is already one of the 5 computers Authorized, but I only have 2 on my list of Authorized computers, so when I go to select the song to play it does it again, and says this computer is not Authorized and wants me to go through the Authorizing process again. So I removed this computer and put it back in as an Authorized computer, restarted my computer and it still does it.

How do I fix this???

Repeated requests to authorize an already authorized computer for store downloads typically indicates you have corrupt or incomplete copies. Backup and then delete the tracks that won't play from your library without hiding from your purchase history. Redownload using the cloud links that should remain, or close iTunes and reopen if they don't show up straight away. While downloading click the activity widget and turn off the option that allows for simultaneous downloads.

If that hasn't helped see If iTunes for Windows prompts you to authorize your computer when you try to play purchases - Apple Support.
