Lightroom 1.1 LRCAT file is corrupt!

[gmff]

Has this happened to anyone else & is it fixable. The adobe website said to copy the file from some other place but I cannot find anywhere to copy it from.
Any help would be great.

Open up Windows Explorer and navigate to Pictures (or My Photos) >Lightroom and delete everything. Then open Lightroom and it will prompt you to create a new library. Then reimport you photos.

At least in Vista.

Original lcat file:
\users\yourusername\pictures\lightroom
Backups each in a date coded directory:
\users\yourusername\pictures\lightroom\backups

I suspect that on XP if would be:
\Documents and Settings\yourusername\My Documents\My Pictures\Lightroom... but since I don't have it installed on XP I really can't be sure. On a Mac, I would not have a clue.

Hope this helps some.

I use Vista and I don't have a backups directory??
