Error message - need help

[jenniferr35]

my computer died in mid editing of some images in Lightroom 4. When I reloaded it says the catalog is corrupt

error message: the Lightroom catalog "Lightroom 4 catalog" is corrupt and Connor be used of backed up until it is repaired"

i clicked repair catalog but it didn't help.

I tried starting again from a previous backup but it says none are there

i tried uninstalling and reinstalling

nothing is working!!

any thoughts or tips to help?

Do you have catalog backups? Hopefully, if you do, those backups were stored on a different hard drive. You can restore your latest backup and go from there. If you don't have a backup catalog to turn to then you will probably have to start all over.
