I WAS WORKING YESTERDAY, INSERTING NEW DATA, AND THEN SUDDENLY, I COMPLETELY LOST ALL OF IT, THE LAST BACKUP I DID WAS ON DECEMBER 16th 2007 - TODAY IS THE JANUARY THE 6TH 2008 - AND I COULDNT RECOVER THAT EITHER, I TRIED THE NEW VERSION, BUT EVERYTHING HAS NOT WORK SO FAR. THE DATA IS STILL IN MY COMPUTER IN THE COLLECTION FILE . THERE ARE NEARLY 3,000 DATA, WHICH I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THESE LAST TEN MONTHS. I COULD NOT BE MORE UPSET... IS THERE A WAY OUT OF IT. I NEED SOME HELP.

thanks for your time

Also when you say you can't recover the backup what does it actually do?

DEAR THOSTEN,

TO BEGIN WITH...MANY THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
I WILL TELL YOU THE WHOLE THING.

I JUST DIT INSERTING THE DATA TO THE TAXI ( FRENCH ) MOVIE.
I GET OUT OF MY OFFICE AND I HEARD MY PC RESTARTING...THAT WAS SO WEIRD, THEN I GOT BACK...I HAD TO REENTER IN THE PROFILE SOFTWARE AGAIN, AND BY THEN, IT DID NOT ACCEPT THE TAXI DATA, FUTHERMORE, THE OTHER TWO TAXIS ( I ALREADY HAD IN MY COLLECTION FILE ) WERE, I SUPPOSED, AS YOU MENTIONED, KINDA CORRUPTED. AS THAT SUGGESTED, I DELTED THEM BOTH.
IMMEDIATELLY I TRIED TO MAKE A BACKUP, BUT THAT WOULD NOT GO MUCH FUTHER, WHICH MESSAGE WAS THAT IT COULD NOT READ THE ACTORS DATA, AT THAT POINT I LOST THE BACKUP I HAD MADE LAST DECEMBER 16th - ONLY THE ONE I TRIED TO DO YESTERDAY WAS THER - I TRIED TO RECOVER THAT, BUT THE SAME MESSAGE ABOUT THE ACTORS DATA CAME OUT. I TRIED TO EXPORT THE DATA, STILL ON, TO SOME OTHER PROGRAM - WELL IT JUST DIT NOT WORK BUT ALSO MADE THE WHOLE THING DISSAPERAR- EVERY SINGLE DATA. I DUNNO WHAT WENT ON MY MIND, I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE I SHOULD GET THE LATEST VERSION, MINE WAS 3.0.2 - I WENT FOR THE 3.1.1 - I TRIED TO DO WHAT YOU MENTIONED - I COULD NOT HAVE MADE ANY CONFUSION IN OPENING, ONCE I HAD ONLY ONE FILE - THE DEFA\ULT ONE, I MEAN THE COLLECTION - IN WHICH I HAD NEARLY 3,000 DATA OF MY DVD COLLECTIONS- - WHAT BROKE MY HEART, SINCE LAST FEBRUARY I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THAT.
I TRIED, IN THIS NEW VERSION: 1ST, RECOVER THE BACKUP, AND THEN THE COLLECTION FILE, BUT BOTH WERE IN VAIN.
THE ONLY THING, ALL THE IMAGES ( COVERS ) AND DATA ARE STILL IN MY HARD DISK.
IS THERE ANY WAY OUT OF IT?
DO I HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN - I HOPE NOT.
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

SINCERELY,

THANKS MICHAEL.

Hello Chico,

first of all:
try to backup all your existing data in your profiler (whatever possible...and other important data on your HD) immediately and store this backup file external (usb stick, CD, DVD - everywhere but not on your Harddisk).

It could be possible (like goblinsdoitall posted) that your harddisk is damaged. You should perform a complete system check for any kinds of errors, such like:

- file system
- bad cluster
- viruses
- malware

etc.

Good luck!

Since DVD Profiler was not closed properly, some data in the tables became corrupted. Simply do a database repair and that should fix everything.

If it is this, Max deserves at least 10 positives, and I was thinking much to complicated

Occupational illness (like me...)?     

DEAR MICHAEL,

IS THERE STILL TIME TO DO SO?

IF THERE IS, HOW AM I TO FIX IT.

YOU SURE DESERVE TEN.

WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER.
