Close OE.
Search for files with the suffix .dbx and move them to a seperate folder.
Open OE and it should automatically rebuild the .dbx files.
If it doesn't you will need to replace the .dbx files to their previous
locations.
This is my best bet.
Good luck.

No I'm not going there. If you think learning to load film into a
developing tank is a useful skill, you are going to have to defend it.
Film is not dead. It may have died in the consumer level but it is
still used in commercial production.
If your child is going to make it in the photography field he has to
learn from the ground up.
