Thanks Caperjack, I just tried doing that and it seemed to work perfectly, but now I have loads of completely random songs missing!? All my purchased files are there, but just completely random songs say they can't find the location. I've tried searching everywhere for them but they just seemed to have vanished. This is seriously annoying, if anyone has had a similar problem it would be good to hear from them

Ok, so, I have a Dell Studio 1537 laptop, and yesterday upgraded my ram to 4GB and also upgraded my 32bit Vista to 64bit Win7. I made backup DVD discs of my whole iTunes library, but when I tried to reload them on to iTunes all of a sudden my CD/DVD won't recognise that there is a disk there when I put them in. I have been having problems like this with the drive for some time, and I know the disks are ok as they show up fine on my Mum's laptop. So, it seems to me I have a few options, but I wanted to check with you pros which one would be the best to try...

1)Interestingly during the Windows upgrade, it kept all my old files which are now in the folder C:\Windows.old and it seems like I can play the songs too. Is there a way I could transfer everything over to C:\User\Music and then just drop a single 'library' file into itunes? There a couple of library files and I'm not sure which one I would need?

2) Could I create an ISO image of the discs on my Mum's laptop, then transfer them to my laptop, and get itunes to recogonise the images? I'm a complete novice with ISO software, and would have to download something to do the job.

3) Finally, I have all the content of my library spread between my video ipod and my iphone. The ipod …

Thanks pcs365_2! I removed the graphics driver, reinstalled it, and with a few tweaks managed to get it all sorted. Thanks again, and thanks to everyone else for your suggestions

Did you try to install the latest graphics driver from ATI's website? If not this is the first thing that I would try.

Yes, I tried that earlier today...no difference

Hi guys, I'm a newbie here, so please forgive me if I miss anything out.

I restored my Dell Studio laptop (Vista 32 bit) to its original factory settings the other day, after backing up all my documents etc. Everything went fine, windows and my internet browser are all looking as good as before, but for some reason the resolution of any programs I run, such as iTunes, Impulse etc, is a little fuzzy in comparison. I checked the pixel resolution and refresh rate under display settings, and both are set as they were before at 1440 x 900 and 60 hertz. But I noticed that if I changed the colors option from Highest (32 bit) to medium (16 bit) then all the program screens looked nice and sharp again, but obviously the overall graphics of windows etc were not quite as good.

Any ideas would be really appreciated
