iTunes after Hard Drive Failure

The hard drive on my MacBook died last weekend. I have successfully put in a new one and reinstalled all my data via Time Machine (which I got when I upgraded three weeks ago to Leopard). All is working OK except iTunes which won't load and gives me the error message:

The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

I really want to be able to use this again - any help on how I can restore iTunes?

Thanks

Check your Software update for the latest version of iTunes, and update your installed copy.
As an alternate drill down into your iTunes library folder and you should find a folder named "Previous ITunes Libraries".
You can select and try an earlier version by holding the Alt key when starting iTunes, you'll be prompted to select your iTunes Libraries location.
