I just encountered for the first time a problem with DVD Profiler. The program itself will not open on the screen but on the task bar it says it is running. I ran a database repair this A.M after going through everything on my laptop to be sure that it was not something with it. Everything is up to par with the laptop and Profiler is the only issue. Still will not open. Short of re-installing the program and restoring the database, has anyone else encountered this and what steps have you taken to correct the problem. I can say that Profiler has been very very slow as of recent to open, taking as long as a few minutes at times. But once up was fine. I always figured that Ken was fixing the slowness on a future release and that it would eventually be fixed. But now no Profiler at all and I have new DVD's to enter. Looking for assistance. Please Help.

There is something about holding the control button (if I remember correctly) when you start DVDP that takes care of this. I believe it resets everything to a default.

worth a shot anyway.

Ok tried the Ctrl Alt Shift and still will not open, but it is on the task bar as running.

This is after a database repair.

Any other suggestions?

did you eever or do you now have a dual monitor set up?

As I recall at IVS there were people who had DVDP opening up in the "other" screen, even if they didn't have it set up that way.

Seems that Ken fell into the registry trap, that when Profiler is closed while the application is minimized, negative values are stored for Top and Left position of the application.

Do the following:
1) Start->Run... (Profiler should be closed)
2) start "regedit"
3) Goto key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Invelos Software\DVD Profiler and delete
LastWindowLeft and LastWindowTop
4) Start Profiler

I sometimes get this as well...I bring up the "Windows Task Manager" (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
select DVDP and tell task manager to end program which clears the fault with windows and allows a re-start of the program.
