So today when i was opening LrC i got a message that my catalog was opened in another machine, wich it was not. There was an option of opening a old backup, or the file in the folder where the current catalog should be. So I went ahaed and opened the suposed current file, and there was nothing a completly empty lightroom. As my most recent backup is four monts old, i would like to know if there is some way to restore the correct catalog.

What did you do that "did not work"?

The error message- "catalog was opened in another machine" really means- " the catalog was NOT closed down properly when last used" and a {.LOCK] file was left next to the Catalog {.LRCAT} file.

If you followed the instructions in the link given by @GoldingD then you should have fixed the problem.

Now tell us what you see. Did you delete a .LOCK file from the 'wrong' catalog folder?
