Hi All,
After some help if possible? I havent accessed Engine DJ software on my PC for a while but now i cant open it at all? So I can’t add new music. See below screen grab. No idea whats happened…? My library still remains on external hard drive (which is connected) and I’ve not amended anything. Completly stuck. Any ideas?
All I can think of is to completly delete engine DJ and re-install but I assume I’d have to completly start my library again, which would be a nightmare 
Any help appreciated.
Hi, you certainly can delete Engine, but you need to extract the DB file from your computer before doing it, to preserve your library data.
Google ‘Engine desktop library database file’ and you will find some instructions on which file it is you need to save.
Edit: screengrab visible now

should be attached now
Ah, ignore my other post, you need to go into the security settings on your mac and allow full file access for Engine
Edit: sorry you’re on WIndows, it still looks like some kind of permissions issue with accessing your music folder.

yes strange as I’ve not changed anything as far as im aware…no idea what do do on that
Just for info, the actual DB file is the ‘M.DB’ inside that database folder i think, google will confirm.
It might be an update to Windows that has caused it? some kind of security patch.
Seems like it’s looking for the music folder rather than the database.
Is your music on the same external drive? Is it in the same place as it was when you last used Engine DJ (no folder name change or move)?
Can you access the music i.e. see the files, play a track (using Winamp, VLC etc)?
Can you write to the music folder (add a new track or save a text file)?
