Hi chgoteddy ! (that's funny, you registered precisely 1 year ago, happy birthday...)
About your problem, please try the following procedure:
1) Coollector must be closed.
2) Go to the folder "My Documents\Coollector".
3) Delete the folder "Tmp".
4) Launch Coollector, and if necessary, allow it several minutes to rebuild the indexing (you have a rather big collection).
Please report if it worked or not.

The one thing I have not tried is to uninstall coolector and downloading and reinstalling it again. (I have nearly two thousand titles - many in VHS that were added from scratch - and I am afraid of loosing the data file if I uninstall it.) ':cry2:'
Don't worry, when you uninstall Coollector, all your data is preserved. Anyway, it's a good idea to keep a backup safe somewhere (as your computer might be stolen or broken).
All your data is contained inside the file "My Documents\Coollector\MyCoollection.cool". I highly recommend you make regular backups of this file.

I have enjoyed this program and have been able to provide a lot of information about the collection to friends who regularly borrow the titles.
If your friends have Coollector installed, you just have to send them your "MyCoollection.cool" file. They can save it wherever they want, and read it simply by double clicking it !
