I'm stumped, but it might be helpful to know exactly how the file is 'corrupted'.

And a last straw to grasp...You might verify that your AppData location hasn't changed (I can't imagine why it would) by checking HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders to see if AppData = %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

As I said: it is reseted to default. My personalized pvconf.ini was overwritten by another one generated by PVD opened upon clickin OK on a "Document data folder could not be found" error message.

Now guess what? AppData location wasn't changed. But, look what I found there? I removed H: entries, restarted laptop and now it works like a charm! Thanks for your time! [SOLVED]

Interesting. 'Personal' is 'My Documents', so that explains the error in trying to find/use the default database location. It's still not clear to me why it would not use the correct path in your pvdconf.ini.  :-\

Maybe this is question for nostra. It was impossible to do anything in PVD in such case. You could try to open existing database - you wouldn't see data entries. You could try to create new one - you wouldn't see data entries, until provide H: drive.
