Hi!
After I tried a last night build and vent back to the stable version of OpenLP, the program do not start properly. The Media manager is empty and in Settings/Configure OpenLP only General, Themes and Advanced appear.
I believe there is something wrong in the register. I am using Windows Vista on this computer. I am able to, from my wife's computer, to access to the database so the database is probably not corrupted. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times not to any luck.
Is there anyone who have any idea what to look for in the register-file or someone who can help me solve the problem?

The night builds are not stable. Do not use them unless you are testing OpenLP for the developers.
The current development version is not for productive use! Your settings have been converted. And you images path are now saved in a database instead of the registry. Also the media item paths are saved in a different way. Sorry, the development version is not backward compatible.

> Does that mean that custom tags will now be shared across machines if I'm sharing the data directory?
Formatting tags are saved in the config (on windows this is the Registry, on linux a config file and I do not know for OSX, but I think they have a config file as well)
Anyway, this does not affect any stable version!

are saying, googol is it that my database is damaged and not able to
recover?
No, it should not. Btw, always back up your data when doing such things!

We have a safe database at the church so if I could be able to uninstall the program totally from the computer with all settings. Then reinstall from scratch hopefully it would be up and running again. I do not like to work into the registry file without knowing what I'm actually doing. So if anyone have any idea what to delete from the registry so I can reinstall without get the problem back.
