    Can't create new catalog in Lightroom 3.6

    ellensander

      All of a sudden, Lightroom 3.6 won't create a new catalog for me. It worked for years but stopped working for no reason I can figure.  I fill in the new catalog name in the dialog, click Save, then Lighroom restarts but  tells me it can't find the new catalog name I just created.  When I look in Explorer, I see that the folder has been created, but the catalog files were not. 

       

      Also, Lightroom didn't remember the last catalog opened when it starts.  To test this, I located and opened a previous catalog, made some changes and quit Lightroom.  When I restarted, it did not recall the previous catalog, but opened a much older one.  I went to Edit->Preferences and changed the "open" setting to "Prompt me" (for a catalog name on open) but that didn't stick either.   So we've developed some anomolies here.  Can anyone help? TIA.
