PSE 14 Cannot open my catalog.pse14db after reinstall

I had to Reset Windows 10, after which I reinstalled Photoshop Elements 14.  My catalog.pse14db file was retained.  But PS Organizer does not find this catalog file, either in File > Manage catalogs, nor when I click on the catalog file in Windows Explorer and "open with " Photoshop Organizer 14".

I tried to "Launch" the file instead of "Open", and it cranks through a few thousand files then it fails with an error.

I did not backup my catalog.  I simply didn't come across this or understand the importance since my catalog file was copied -- not using the backup function -- on a separate backup hard drive.

I have tried all of the paths in File > Manage catalogs.  Nothing has worked.

If I create a new catalog and import my files, all of my Tags are lost.  People, Places, Events, and Star Ratings are gone, despite the fact that I chose to import the Tags and it seems to go through that process.

Where I seem to be now is to re-tag my photos all over again.  Hours and hours and hours of work.

Does anyone have any advice.
