Hi Kieren,

Welcome to the forum!

The program without the catalog is pretty useless isn't it?!!  I presume you have checked to see if it is in the Recycle Bin or did you empty that too? Can you just re-install the program? - this would restore the catalog.  Back up any files you are working on beforehand of course.

Let us know how you go.

also, in the future as you modify the catalog by adding items or change some settings, you should regularly make a backup of the catalog just in case a crash or error breaks the catalog; you can replace it rather than re-install the default catalog.

think of your catalog like your design data, for backup purposes
