| | Posted: | | | | I'm running windows so of course you have to completely redo your computer at least once a year sometimes more. Anyways I'm running Vista Ultimate and after installing DVD Profiler I ran it for the first time and it entered all my registration information and restored all my profiles. How can this happen? I completly reformated the hard drive and reinstalled XP than installed Vista over that because its an upgrade only |

| | Posted: | | | | Had you restored your "Documents" folder? I installed vista recently, but before installing DVD Profiler i had copied my files into the user area ("My Documents" on XP) and it automatically picked this up... |

| | Posted: | | | | No. I don't save anything in the Documents folder. I have one central place I put everything so that I can easily back it up every week. All I saved in that folder for dvd profiler were the install files for both desktop and mobile and the backup file that gets created from the file menu. I don't really care but it just seemed a little odd that I completely reformated the hard drive and that was still good. Just like I didn't do anything at all. |

| | Posted: | | | | Have you just formated the disk or did you delete the partitions? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I completly reformated the hard drive and reinstalled XP than installed Vista over that because its an upgrade only do you have only the single hard disk? I have moved my database to another drive so it isn't on C and I wondered if the same thing had been done with you? Also, did you want to delete all your profiles? If so, you can tag selected, delete all tagged. | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't wanted to delete anything. I have 2 hard drives. One is partition into 4 letters. That's the main one. Then I have a secound one that is just used for back up and recording TV shows on. I left everything to the default setting so my collection was in C:\users\Daniel\Documents\DVD Profiler. I reformated C than reinstalled Vista |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't think it's necessary Ken, but it's always been advisable to clean out and rebuild Windows PCs on a regular basis because Windows has never been very good at housekeeping so PCs tend to get clogged up with file fragments and temporary files etc.
Reformatting and restoring a PC can have a very beneficial effect on performance. |

| | Posted: | | | | My XP installation is more than two and a half years old and it's still running smoothly. We're not in the times of Windows 95/98 anymore. I don't know how DVDP restored itself, but (to quote the first Harry Potter book) "there's no such thing as magic!"  | | | Karsten
