Is Anyone Familiar With Datacrow?

As I mentioned in another thread, my old laptop died and some of the companies I had bought some software from have gone out of business, so I may have lost access to them.

Because of that, I've been trying to find open source software similar to a lot of the programs I like to use. Preferably portable versions that I can have on thumb drives or external disks that won't vaporize when another PC dies on me.

I have some commercial software to organize my collection of books Book Collector; thankfully, they haven't gone out of business, but after being burned by Living Cookbook going out of business, I've been looking for open source, portable alternatives, just in case. I found a couple of book database software that could work, except that I'd have to re-input all of my books all over again by hand to recreate my Book Collector database (and the other software I looked at don't seem capable of importing Book Collector).

One thing that makes Book Collector so quick and easy, is that it can go online and search for listings of your books to get all the data about it (title, author, publisher, subject, genre, format, page count, illustrator, etc). It's a huge time saver. The first 2 book database alternatives I looked at can't do that at all. But DataCrow can!

So I've been gradually recreating my database in DataCrow just in case. But I've found that if I have too many external devices connected at once, it seems to cause those dreaded blue screens. It did that with my previous, dead laptop, and it's doing the same with this one. But it's usually fine after I reboot.

Well, yesterday, I went to go eat, and I left my laptop on with my DataCrow database open. Well, now when I try to open DataCrow, I get an error message that says that it doesn't have permissions to access the modules of the database, and that means the user doesn't have permissions (but I'm the only user of this laptop and always have been). It said to look at the documentation of my OS (Windows 7). I tried right clicking and selecting run as administrator, but the same message was the result. I'm going to try to upload a screenshot of the error message if it helps.



I had already put 900 books in there! I'd hate to lose all that! Anyone have any ideas on how I can rescue all that data? I had posted a previous, unrelated question about the software on its SourceForge page, but I haven't received a response yet. I'm sure the programmer is probably busy with paying work, so I can't blame him there.
