My condolences for the loss of a friend.

Just to be clear, Profiler is working and you tried importing the backup via File → Restore Database... and nothing is happening?

If yes, please download this single profile database I just create and try to import it and report back. The backup from your friend might be defective.

Additionally you should read the Data Recovery page of my little DVD Profiler Wiki.
If the hard drive with the original database is still readable you can simply open that.

That you registered a new version of the Profile seems to imply that you do not have the registration data of your friend, which is a pity, since with that you could have tried "Restore from Online-List"

regard, Mithi
