MOVIES.PVD won't open

(1/2) > >>

searay:
I lost the hard drive on my laptop. Fortunately I am pretty careful about keeping back-ups on a removable drive. I installed my new drive and reinstalled my Windows 7 from the original disc. I restored my PVD folder from the backup drive but when I tried to launch the program I got a bunch of errors about missing files. I downloaded and installed the PVD program from the web again. Now it complains it can't open the database because of errors 24 and 37. I even tried restoring .bak file and it wouldn't use that either. I hate to lose the 300+ movies in the database. The program seems to open fine after complaining about the database.

Any help would be appreciated

Please post the exact error messages (all of them).

So it starts fine, but the movies are not there?

The access rights settings on the database file prevent PVD from reading the file. Go to "file properties -> security"  and define proper access rights. This is often cause when you move a database file from one windows installation to another...

I hate to sound stupid, but where do I start with the "file properties"?
