Maxxxxxx:

Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions to help you, but I am curious . . . do you know what build you had before you upgraded? I have build 124.

Regards,

Kimberly

I also had build 124 installed. I downloaded build 132 and installed it over the top of build 124. It seems to open OK, but I haven't tried using it.

It is interesting that the sticky thread at the top of this forum is stuck in a time warp at 5.0b. The latest release notes are unchanged and dated Sept 2010, the same as for build 124, so what changes have been made to build 132 are not disclosed.

If build 124 was working for you I suggest you try uninstalling 132 and reinstalling 124, if you can. Cleaning the registry may help if things don't work out, but I never found cleaning the registry ever fixed anything that was broken.

If you are saying that now you can't get 124 to work after uninstalling and cleaning the registry then now it starts to get messy.

You have two options:

1 Uninstall DVDA, delete all DVDA folders you can find, clean the registry, search for references to DVDA in the registry and delete, run registry cleaner again. Then reinstall DVDA.

If that doesn't work then the other option is

2 Do a full image backup of your C: drive. (Save all data on your C: drive as well if you can't easily restore from your image.) Restore a copy of your C: drive image from when DVDA did work or earlier. Reinstall anything missing including DVDA and your data.

If you don't have a backup image then you are now going to pay for your bad behaviour. In future make sure you do have several images ranging from system only, system plus main applications and system plus all applications. Then when problems like this occur it is relatively painless to get up and going again.
