    so, i was browsing deviantart for that one ivista skin for itunes. but it said i had to install the multi-plugin, so i did. but when i tried to open itunes again, it said:

    The procedure entry point RegEnumValueW could not be located in the dynamic link library MPlugin.dll.

    wtf. so i tried repairing itunes be reclicking the installation file, which offered me the options of repair or remove, so i chose repair. then i tried opening itunes again, but it said the same thing as before. help please?

    Is this iTunes 6 or 7? If its 7 it only works with 7.02(the multi plugin).
    The only way is to reinstall iTunes, I think.

    hmm...do you have the itunes folder setup? if so you can just back that up onto an external hard drive, then uninstall/re-install and drag the contents of the folder back into itunes. i did that and it worked for me.

    Yep, the above should work, uninstall first, then reinstall.
    I know how much of a pain it is, because I've done it before ;)

    OK then, all you do is copy the my music/music folder to another location(say, desktop?).

    Yeah I just did this. i copied all the artist or music folders in the my music folder under itunes to a external drive but as Thomas said to your desktop. Then uninstall itunes then reinstall it and once it is installed it will search your computer for all music/video/picture files on your computer and put back into itunes.
    Everything that is on your ipod should be on your computer right? If not I think It can be done but it has something to do with manually syncing it for ever after not sure exactly. Isn't that the type of stuff apple was trying to prevent. You could go to all of your friends house and load your library onto their computer as well???? Wait not for sure on that? That is what I was told when researching how to transfer my library from one computer to another. Anyways that rambling probably didn't help you at all so check out this site and use at own risk I have never used it since I was successful with my transfer.
    Hope it helps.

    I don't know about lyrics?? I don't have that set up using itunes I use this plugin http://www.lyricsplugin.com/.

    The album art folder is next to the music folder you would be moving so you could move it as well. It worked for mine but couldn't you just hook back up to itunes store and select get album artwork and it would get them for you again?
