| | Posted: | | | | For the last 2 days I keep losing my DVD data. It removes all data to zero DVDs. I have downloaded it from online twice and completely removed and reinstalled the system twice. I also used the database repair utility without success. After I download or reinsall the data there are no images downloaded - I then download those. Things are okay for a while but it keeps happening. Why is this occuring and what can I do to prevent it from happening again? Any help/advice would be greatly apprechiated - this is driving me crazy!! Please keep instructions simple because I am NOT computer or technically inclined. Thank you. Kathy |

| | Posted: | | | | Hi Kathy,
No idea why you lose your data. Your data should be in your My Documents\DVD Profiler\Database\Default\ directory unless you have specified a different location. You might try to open the database when Profiler starts with nothing in it. File/Open Database.
But, you should use the backup function as soon as you get everything reloaded. It is much faster to restore a backup than to download your online and refresh all images.
To backup: File, Backup Database. Pick a location and filename (I use "backup 1" to "backup 20" for a little history/go back ability) Leave all of the check boxes ticked for a complete backup.
Hope that helps, feel free to ask questions. | | | | Kevin |

Because that is where the data is saved by default. Try File - Open Database - New Database and save that on drive d: or wherever you usually save your data. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |
