I have iTunes and i have a visual problem. I don't particularly want any suggestions that recommend a different mp3 player as i like itunes for my own reasons, and have an iPod and that fun stuff.

here is a screenie of what it looks like. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling so far, any other options for getting this rather funkalicious pink/grey/blue/white colour scheme to bugger off?

mostly i'm hoping someone has had a similar event occur and wondered what they did, if anything? The program still plays the music fine, and still adds, removes, orders music properly; but just the visual format is a bit jarring, to say the least.

(pasted below fix from another site, I helped my sister fix this a while ago)

"The problem, appears to manifest itself based on the display settings that you have on your Windows PC (happens in Windows XP and Windows Vista from my experience) when you are not running in a 32-bit color mode. If you modify you screen settings to run in 32-bit color, then the problem goes away.

To fix this in Windows XP:
Right-click on your Windows background, select Properties, go to the settings tab, and change the color quality setting to Highest (32-bit).

To fix this problem in Windows Vista:
Right-click on your Windows background, select Personalize, go to the settings tab, and change the color quality setting to Highest (32-bit).

With the change / fix, you can now use your Apple iTunes in Windows without the annoying purple / pink background. Hopefully, this tip helps you fix the problem. If so, please let me know with a comment below!"
