Database won't open
« on: November 21, 2011, 07:08:58 pm »
Moved to a new windows 7 computer from the old XP.  Transferred the Movies.dvp file created with DVP 0.9.9.18.  Installed DVP 0.9.9.21 on the new machine and other than the Twunk.16 error the program opended.  When I tried to open the Movies.dvp, nothing happens.  Program shows "movies 0 visible 0".

With the program closed, using the files manager, double click the Movies.dvp file, PVD opens but the data base does not.  I assume I have missed some setting that needs to be changed, but at a loss as to what?

Thanks for any help.

1. Try resetting the filters
2. Try closing PVD, removing pvdconf.ini from the application folder and "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Personal Video Database\" and starting PVD again

Thanks again for the reply.

1.  Reset Filters - didn't make a difference

2. pvdconf.ini - Didn't find a copy in the application file.  Closed the program and removed it from the Users location.  Still didn't work.  Searched the C: drive and removed it from the download location and restarted.  No difference.

I notice that the permissions list of users had different spelling than C:\Users did. Left an s off the end of the user name, the same as the old compter.  Added the correct spelling and still doesn't work??

Whats the size of the file you are trying to open?
Are you sure you are opening the right file?
Can you send the database to me for investigation?

The file size is 1102KB, which is see is too large to attach here.  If you let know an e-mail address I can send it.

The database does not seem to contain any records. Do you have any other files near this file?

No data, opps.  Two files named movies.dvp transferred to the new computer.  I went back searched the old machine and found a third file in an odd directory which had nothing to do with PVD.  But it works.  I somehow messed up a couple of years ago and have been using this third file.  Transferred it over and works fine.  Sorry for the trouble
