Need screen saver help after latest iTunes update...

Just updated iTunes to version 7 and had the system load album art when starting it up (which it did not do but no big deal). So I manually added some album art as I always do through get info and dragging the pic just to check out the new search feature. I went to test out the screen saver to check out the new album pics and instead got a black screen. So I check preferences and received the following error:

"Can't load screen saver - Screen saver itunes artwork did not load properly. please select another screen saver. Error: * -[NSURL initWithString:relativeToURL:]: nil string parameter"

Any suggestions? Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thats odd. Not sure what this error means, but you could always try repairing disk permissions, that seems to solve most of the random errors that occasionally pop up on my OS X macs. Load the OS X install dvd into the drive then restart your machine holding the C key. choose english as the main language. Then go into the utilities menu and select disk utility. Click on your hard disk then click the repair permissions button. Once completed, restart the computer into OS X. Then try your screensaver again. If this doesnt work, post again and I'll take a closer look at it.
