coppermine upg 1.4.3 =>1.4.8 => 1.4.9 nothing is ok anymore

[FTK]

Afetr 2 sequential upgrades, yusers are not able anymore to see all public categories nor albums
systems says that there are no albums in database .... eg when you upload a photo
now even users can login and the system recognises that but in fact you get still the "login" and not logout (username)
except when you make a new user under the name test for example
Furthermore all groeps are gone exept for the standard groups like admin, guest, banned, etc....

fortunatly alle pics are still viewable ....
But som pics who were just turned 90° are back as original (not altered)
also the number of uploaded kb pics doen nt match what was really uploaded ....

ie only for admin everythging is perfectly in order

I'm absolutely no wizard on these matters and have never entered the mysql database
can anybody hellp or have at least have a look PLEASE
Im desprate, I'm looking hole afternoon and now already eavening to solve this problem ....
