I had to do a new install of Lightroom 3 due to a malware attack on Windows 7. When I attempt to restore the catalog, I get empty images with keywords and flags. How do I fix it?
You could start by telling us the details of how you "attempt(ed) to restore the catalog". In other words, exactly what did you do.
The most likely situation is that your photos are now in a different location on your hard disk(s) than before the malware attack. Is that correct in your situation?

GaryU72 Aug 22, 2012 2:45 PM (in response to dj_paige)I have all data including images and catalog backups on another drive. It was not hit by the malware. I followed the standard procedure to restore the catalog. I deleted the empty catalog and pasted in a backup. I have just solved the problem by opening Lightroom as an administrator. The images appeared, and they continue to appear now with a normal Lightroom open.
