I would recommend reinstalling the entire program to make it work. Most problems regarding the domain header are solved when you reinstall the Avid Media Tool program. To install this program, go to their website and reinstall. However, if the problem remains after reinstalling, I would suggest you to install additional header code.
Hi Patrica,

If the similar error occurs:
To delete msm's, new media file directories, diverse drives must not work at all, though that was user profile related. However, switching back to the "corrupt" user and starting on Media tool, over again may work.
