Hello.

I'm new to these boards since up to now I haven't had any problems with this great program. This is the issue (hope you don't mind the details  ):

So far I owned all three parts of the MATRIX-Trilogy on DVD. The other day I went and bought the first part on Blu-Ray since it's the one I like best.

Thus I wanted to delete the DVD of the first part from my DVD Profiler-Collection since I intend to get rid of it. The problem is that while the profile still appears in the Collection List on the left of the screen I can't activate it anymore by clicking on it. If I left click the movie title in the Collection List the main profile featured remains the one that I viewed before. The same happens when I right click the movie title in my Collection List and select delete - it asks me whether I want to delete the previous profile that I viewed.

I already tried all kinds of things e.g. by restoring that particular profile with the one from my backup database but the only success I had from doing so is that I now have TWO of those friggin' ghost profiles in my Collection List.

English is not my first language and thus it's not that easy for me to describe such a specific issue but I hope you understand my problem and have an idea how to get rid of these ghost profiles because this is really annoying me!

Database repair is a possibility.

Another thing that comes in my mind if you just want to delete the profile, but you're not able to click on it:

Try to flag the profile with the flag feature under collection. (with the option flag above, ...) Perhaps after that you can delete it with flagged delete.

Quoting ruineddaydreams:

IIRC there was just a post with a similar issue just a few weeks ago... I believe the solution was to do a backup and select all your movies except the ghost... then delete your entire database... then restore from the backup...

i can't find the post at the moment though

I thought I'd chime in and mention that I've just encountered this same "ghost profile" problem with at least two entries in my database - entries that are a couple of years old (#1494 is one of them, and my most recent title addition was #2875).  Do we perhaps have a bug in the latest version of DVD Profiler?  Running 3.6.1 here.

EDIT: Database Repair resolved the issue for me.
