Go into My Documents/My Music. Now go into the iTunes folder. Rename your iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library.itl.old. Go into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (which would be in MyDocuments\MyMusic\Previous iTunes Libraries). Take the newest file (for me this was iTunes Library 2006-09-14.itl) and copy it back up to the iTunes folder. Rename it iTunes Library.itl. Run iTunes 6 and you should be all set, with your library restored.
Thanks to blog.dominik.net and for the original downgrade instructions, and http://saveourtunes.com/2007/04/09/retro-action-in... for the copy text.
19 Nov 2008- I recently downgraded WinXP to Win2K and received this error after installing iTunes for Win2K. This was the first article I read when I investigated my options. The second step was confusing to me because the "previous library" file did not exist. I simply renamed the old (newer) library with the "itl.old" file extension and VIOLA! Thank you!
...and also if after you rename the itunes icons it may not work.To fix that click on use web service to find appropriate program and do the following steps it does work!!!

the reason of it is the recent guns n Roses album too many everyone is on itunes listening to the 30 secnd previews of the tracks or paying for the album and the itunes server cant take care of that a lot artwork
