You are going to delete the .cdx files in the database, the .cdx
files are the thumbnails files the database generates and they can
become corrupt therefore we can delete them with out effecting any
database information, The steps for that are as follows.
(only do one of the steps 2 - 6 depending on which software & operating system you have)
If you feel uncomfortable doing this, I would recommend making a copy of the Default folder before proceeding.
Close Photo Manager.
If
you have moved your database to a somewhere other than the default
location, please go to that location. If you haven't moved it (and you
would know if you have) then select the default location for the
correct version and operating system.
In Version 9 on XP: In Windows Explorer go to this location: "C:\Documents and
Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\ACD
Systems\Catalogs\90\Default"
In Version 10 on XP: In Windows Explorer go to
this location: "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Local
Settings\Application Data\ACD Systems\Catalogs\100\Default"
In Version 9 on Vista: Go to this location: My Computer, C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\ACD Systems\Catalogs\90\Default
In Version 10 on Vista: Go to this location: My Computer, C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\ACD Systems\Catalogs\100\Default
Once you are in the correct folder:
Go to View | Details
Click on the Type column header to sort the files by type of file.
Select all files that are listed as cdx files and hit the delete key.
Tip: Make sure you go to YOUR_USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application
Data. There is a YOUR_USER_NAME\Application Data and that is the wrong
one...
If you can't find the cdx files and you are sure you are in the right
folder, please look at this screenshot. You want to select all
HIGHLIGHTED files and delete them. DELETE only the highlighted ones in
the screenshot and leave the others.
