Support / PVD not opening properly
« on: January 27, 2015, 04:25:09 pm »
Hello
My problem started with a notice saying database not loading (or something like that). Restarting Windows 7 cured the problem. Now PVD is opening but the left pane, which should have my list of movies is blank and blacked out. I have tried re-starting to no avail, so I assume I need to re-install PVD. However, I am worried I will lose the database. I do have a reasonably up to date back up, which consists of MOVIES.PVD and movies.pvd.bak, but I dont know how to use them. Has someone got a solution to the problem and if that involves using the back up, can you give me a simple step by step run through the procedure please

Quite proud of myself, I have managed to get everything working pretty well, which is a fete for an old dimwit like me. Came across one problem this afternoon. I wanted to rescan my movies folder for new addition etc and it said I didn't have permission. I therefore, logged in, but thereafter lots of icons and more importantly preferences were greyed out. I noticed that the heading said 'Read Only, which I changed in Properties, but it reverted back. I have since discovered that if I don't sign in (just click ok without entering any information) the programs starts as it should do and all is well.
