No LayoutFile Name present in regedit.

It should be in HKey_Current_User \ Software \ Invelos Software \ DVDProfiler

If it really isn't there you could add the value manually.

I have no idea what happened to my 3.5; everything was fine last night!

You didn't, by any chance, run a cleanup program, did you?

Oh boy does this sound frustrating.  I can't stand when I don't understand something and this would drive me crazy. I wish I could help.

Of course I once moved thousands of books and DVDs to run new speaker wire for my stereo, put everything back and couldn't get my stereo to work. Pulled everything out again to check...nothing. Called an electrician friend who found the problem...it helps to plug the stereo in!

This does bring up a point: Pantheon's last post had a clue that I had missed before. He is also running 3.6 - perhaps in dual mode? Is it possible that an unforseen interaction happened? Apologies for not going back and verifying that you haven't done this: but maybe wiping all versions of Profiler from your machine, including registry entries and folders (after of course safely stashing your databases elsewhere.). Reboot at least once, and then start back with 3.5. Etc, etc. ...

You might have gotten something wrong here.
Pantheon did not install 3.6 until his 3.5 stopped working. At least that's how I understood it.

Actually I was running 3.6 in parallel mode. I'd only opened it a couple of times though.

However, when this starting happening I uninstalled 3.6 and deleted the folder etc. Then uninstalled 3.5. Rebooted. Re-installed. Nothing worked.

Then I finally reinstalled the Beta and am currently using it.

My only concern is that when the Beta gets its final release that I may have the same problems!!

I simply can't live without Profiler!!!

More clues. You may think you "uninstalled" everything, but it smells like vestiges of 3.6 are stll in your registry, hence it is happy, while 3.5 is not. Perhaps a note to Ken for some expert advice on how to truly purge the registry, then try the "new user" advice that the good Dr. just posted. You might also re-read Ken's orginal caveats and tips for installing the Beta. And ... good luck. But for the grace ... it could be any one of us in your shoes!!! 

(Gee whiz, look at Dr.'s post count: 4,111  and mine is now 1,444 - I hear strange sounds .... but it obviously won't last long - Oh, well he blew it! Ha, it was fun noticing that though ... I should play 5555 in a lottery somewhere.  )

all of this is perfect time to mention.. to others..

Don't forget to-- BACKUP!!!!!  backup! Backup..

everyday and every way my profiler has been nice to me...
