iTunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50)

I upgraded to version 7.3 this morning and now the program cannot save changes to my library. The program reports unknown error -50 every time iTunes tries to save the ITL and XML files to My Music\iTunes.

PowerBook G4, Windows XP Pro

Thanks for the reply, however after I posted, I was looking at the "preferences" clicked "ok" without changing anything, and everything magically fell into place. But found two new issues:

1) Synced iPod, and I have noticed ever since I downloaded 7.3 (including 7.3 past versions), what I have been listening on the iPod has not been showing up on the play counts in iTunes.

2) Because of the new way of organizing #s, I decided to reorganize my library (before had all artists that I only had one song had "z-" before) so I started puting "9-" infront. About half way through I decided to do it differently. Deleted the library and put in another, and the "9-" is still in front of those artists. Searched for hidden documents or other library files deleted and emptied recycle bin...still artists had the "9-" infront. Guess I'll have to manually change them all back, but this is different from the past.






I wish Apple could have a list of improvements, of what to expect, when we download new versions...could stop alot of headaches...
