One more problem.  I can't seem to install it properly.  Each time I have to reinstall it and it is not saved as a program on my comp.  Any tips?

Do you have administrator rights? How do you know it did not install properly?

I did what you said and moved the file to a local drive and it worked right away....  Thanks so much

The error message refers to a .pvd file, not a .bak file as you were originally asking about. Which is it? Whichever, eliminate the external drive as the source of the problem by copying the file to a local drive. When you start PVD, you'll get error messages because the program is going to try to open the last used file. Dismiss any messages and proceed to opening a file...

If the file is a .pvd file, you should be able to Open it. If necessary, the program will update it to the current format. If you have a copy of the original .pvd file, use it—that's less complicated and error prone than...

If it's a .bak file, you won't be able to open it directly. A backup file is meant for restoring a current database. I believe the program has to have something loaded, or it won't be able to do a restore. So Create a new database, and then restore.

I suppose the problem might also be UAC. What version of Windows are you using?

I have now installed 0.9.9.14

When i initially try to run the program to install it I get the error

6:I/O error for file "K:BACKUP\WEEKLY\MY DOCUMENTS\PERSONAL VIDEO DATABASE\MOVIES.PVD"
Error while trying to write to file
Access is denied.

Unsuccessful execution cause by a system error that precludes successful execution of subsequent statements
Error Code: 24

So this file is the back up on my external HD where i was pointing PVD version 0.9.8.ish before uninstalling.

This error allows me to continue to open PVD but not install it.

Thanks in advance for the help

Normally you should be able to restore any 0.9.8+ version without problems using the 0.9.9.14

Just got a new comp and i'm trying to restore my old data base.  I have read on here that you must use the version of PVD that was last used with that database.  Is there a way to find out what version i was using by the save .bak file?  If i find the proper version is restoring as easy as using the restore option under file and selecting the .bak file?

Thanks you,

Mike
