Somehow a couple days ago I accidently clicked (the auto select feature got enabled on the touchpad) on a refresh or search feature in DVDP 3.1. I canceled it repeatedly and it gave a warning that the database may become corrupt. It was freshly backed up so I continued with the cancel.
Ever since then I get the following error when closing DVDP 3.1, "cannot create file databases.dod", pointing to my roaming folder in the appsdata folder. On Vista 32. Then when I try to restart DVDP 3.1 I get a message that DVD Profiler is still running. Yet nothing shows on the desktop or task manager. The backups I make are correct, yet the only way I can successfully reopen DVDP 3.1 is to reboot. Then it opens fine but gives the same message upon closing.
Any ideas??

Have you tested the "Database Repair Utility" available through the start menu by DVD Profiler?

If the database repair doesn't work, then restore your backup (which you did just before this).

I have done both. Used the database repair utility and still get the error. Also did a full restore of the backup and still get the error. Also, I have completely uninstalled DVDP, deleted the previous install directory and did a fresh install (after a full reboot of the system) into a different location. Still get the error.

*edit* I think it's fixed. Went into the roaming/DVD Profiler 3 folder (had to unhide it) and deleted the dod file. Seems to be working fine with no errors now.
Thanks for the feedback.
