Old Database Does Not Work
rick.ca:
Try running the program with the -portable switch so it will start with a "fresh" configuration file. You can do so by double-clicking on the portable.bat file in the installation directory.

Sorry That Didn't Work Either and I am beginning To Think It Would Be Easier Starting Again by installing the old version of pvd on my computer in a different folder and manually copying the database into the new version.I really don't know what is wrong Because when I try to go back to the old version of your program and type in a new movie it tells me there was a problem with the server and then give me a 1.1 404 : error which means the two places I use for my database which is imdb and allmovies are not found and now I am thinking it is a problem with my computer as the new version connects to both with no problems at all and I do not want to stop using your program as it is one of the best I have found on the web even though I Bought another program on the web called Movie Collector I still prefer using your program.
I am using Windows XP Media Edition as my operating system with service pack 3 :'(
Thank you for all your assistance in trying to help me solve this problem :)

I wasn't expecting it to necessarily work. What happened? Exactly, please.
Also, please confirm my assumption about the circumstances of the first error message: "You're running version 0.9.9.11. With the File - Open dialog, you select the database file created with version 0.9.8.20."
You normally cannot open a database in an older version of the program after opening it (or attempting to do so) in a newer version. If you wish to revert to the older version, use a backup of the database that has only been used in that version. But there's not much point in going back to the old version—it's no longer supported. The plugin errors you're getting are probably the result of them not being updated for recent changes in the websites.
Do you have a backup or copy of the original database?

Send me the database and the file pvdconf.ini located in C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Personal Video Database\ if you want, I'll take look. You are giving too few information and it is very unprecise, so it is very difficult to understand what is happening.

I'm having the exactly same problem. This bug is serious and it seems to be widespread. I just installed the new version and tried to open old database file in it.
