You say you didn't move the files, just "slightly" renamed them by changing folder names. MM4 - and any other program you might use - will think you moved them, because you gave them a new address (and didn't tell MM that you did so). All the people replying to you are telling you that the first step is tell MM the new addresses - then you can deal with any other issues. You tell it the new addresses by using File -> Locate Moved/Missing files. As others have pointed out, the instructions on how to procede are here:

Thanks yarguy, yep, that is correct, I didn't move the files, just renamed them and as mentioned a few times, I have tried the ideas, plus yours above and none have worked. However, I have just moved the relevant playlists into the MMG4 media tree and so far, so good.
