Lightroom catalog repair frozen. Help.

[joyc1645588]

My computer froze during Lightroom catalog repair. Before this happened my Collections were missing. I've been using lightroom for 10 years and have never had these problem. How do I fix this and access my catalog.

Restore a Backup catalog.

That is the whole reason to make backups of the catalog- to restore it when the current one is corrupt.

As to the Collections, I cannot answer, but again they may be in a backup of the catalog.
