Anyway, so here's what's been happening: I click to open the wallet, and it either hangs on the splash screen and becomes unresponsive, or it loads past the splash screen to a blank QT and becomes unresponsive. The only option I'm left with is to end task. I've left it for several hours, and it won't open. I've removed everything from my appdata folder except for wallet.dat, and I've tried using the danbi copy of the blockchain.
Everything was working fine, and then all of a sudden it stopped.
I don't think it s the wallet. I also use Win 8 x64 and DMD wallet 2.0.5.7 and everything works fine, never had issues with it. Can anyone else confirm this combination?
Maybe to try to reinstall the wallet? Make sure to backup wallet.dat before you do.
Right, I deleted the existing wallet and used a new copy as well. And as I said, I removed everything from my appdata folder (obviously saving my wallet.dat). I even tried starting with a new wallet.dat just to see if it would help. I never had any problems before either. It just stopped working one day. I've been following DMD for quite a while now.
u are the first who report such a issue we have lot people using windows 8.1 and DMD Wallet
did u try without a diamond.conf?
if that dont help
add debug=1 into diamond .conf
delete the debug file
start wallet
and after a few minute copy the content of debug file and mail it to [email protected]
do other bitcoin based wallets work on this PC?
i really think its a local issue because noone else report similar problems
did u start using a new firewall or virus defence software?
or some other major system change around the time dmd wallet started to not work for u?
I doubt it's a problem with the wallet itself also, but I appreciate the help nonetheless. Doubt that it matters, but this is 8, not 8.1 btw... I haven't changed anything - no new software, nothing. I use several other crypto wallets with no issues as well. Anyway, I appreciate the help - I've got an IT background, but I don't know everything I sent my debug.log to that address.
