Hello,

I just installed the latest version of My Movies (5.43) to manage my DVDs and Blu-rays..

The installation seems to have gone perfectly, but I launch the program, I get this blocking message (in french): "There was a problem connecting to the local database. The program needs to stop."

I've tried several times. Always the same result.

I have Windows 11 Home - version 25H2.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I found SQL Server (MYMOVIES) in "Services".

I set the startup type to "Automatic". The other options are: Disabled, Manual, and Automatic (Delayed Start).

The service status is "Stopped". I click "Start" and I get this message:
A window opens indicating that Windows is attempting to start the following service on Local Computer... SQL Server (MYMOVIES)". Then I get the message (translated from French): "Windows could not start SQL Server (MYMOVIES) on Local Computer. For more information, see the System Event Log. If this is not a Microsoft service, contact the service provider and reference the service-specific error code: 3417."

In a log (source: MSSQL$MYMOVIES) from 02/11/26 - 11:30:17, it is stated: "Cannot recover the master database. SQL Server is unable to run. Restore master from a full backup, repair it, or rebuild it. For more information about how to rebuild the master database, see SQL Server Books Online.".

Thanks for the resolution.
