Thanks for your interest in my problem.

I have no other KDE software.

Unfornutaly, I previously followed the steps you explain (even if I didn't  
know... !) because I installed digiKam twice on my computer today. And  
before the second installation, I deleted the digiKam directory, including  
.kde directory too in Appdata\Roaming, and I deleted also the entries of  
registry about digiKam. But it did not work.

About firewall/antiviruses, yes, I use Zone Alarm. I'll try to disable it  
(as I'm writing now, it is scanning my PC as every week on saturday,  
sorry...) and to restart digiKam.

I'll download 2.3.0 tomorrow and try again (and again... ?)

Regards.
