In addition, I want to go back to the last build of VDJ8 before I start rebuilding and I don't know how to do that.

There is no database.xml in your VirtualDJ Root Folder anymore ?

Simple... restore from your backup.

Okay Guys, 8.1 is reloaded and functioning as it should. When it crashed, the VDJ has stopped working flag came up, VDJ closed automatically. When I reopened it, The VDJ default skin came up, but did not recognize any of the vids, songs, or karaoke. It reopened in a completely virgin mode. All sampler and plugins I had added were gone, in the skin, as well as the VDJ root folder. The database and the settings files were gone from the root folder. It stopped working again this morning while I was backing up the database and settings folders to an external, but it reopened ok. If 8.1 hasn't failed between now and tomorrow night, gonna use it.

Keep a backup of your Documents > VDJ folder to avert any further problems.
