Hi,
Please go in the "file" menu -> Open database, and now select your MDB database file. I don't know where is located, should be under the "my documents\extreme movie manager\databases\" folder.
Please let me know.

Yes that is/was and still is the problem
i installed XMM in an extra folder c:\xmm
but some files are installed at "my documents" and every update still copys some files in that directory
i think you shoul look at your installation routine

Hi Guys,
Sorry for these problem, I am trying to locate the problem.
Can you send me your config.ini file that XMM has created? it's located in the same folder of XMM's EXE
Thank you,
Alessio |

It worked now for me
What i have done?
Installed a completely new version from the homepage - told the program at installation where i want to install XMM - moved all files and folder in the right folder after installation because XMM installed 90% into my documents folder (in german "eigene Dateien") instead of the folder i told him - moved all old databases and templates into the right folders - changed the config.ini to the right places - made all settings colors again - and than it worked for me now.
I hope you do not change this again - and i hope the next update will work correctly.
Please please have a look with the next update that all files and folder will be installed into the directory i (the user) uses.

Same problem here... But its not a new problem. Monthes ago (maybe the first v6 release?) i had the same problem.
I think the problem is, that XMM is looking for the database and everything in "my folder", but i guess a lot users have it still anywhere else. For me its in the extreme movie manager folder.
Installing the full version fixes the problem. |

same problem after update 6.1.8.0 i had to locate and open my database then re-assign default scripts, and the Help menu shortcut to What's New didn't work either, the amazon script didn't download much info either but i just tried 1 movie and it may be a seprate issue
thanks for the great program:-)

Hi notaleo,
This is "normal", it's like XMM is launched for the first time because now all settings are stored in "config.ini" file.
I have made this for 2 reason, the first is that you can now export/backup also your configuration, the second is that, if you have problems, you can send the file to me to better find the bug.
