Anyone know what could cause this
cheers
Ok what is happening here is :- My wallet.dat file has become corrupt due to a bad windows shutdown/crash/power cut restart .... the Startcoin wallet tells me this when I start wallet with my wallet.dat file inside the roaming folder (wallet will not run)
however if i place an older backup version of the same wallet.dat file in the roaming folder then the wallet run's it contains all my addresses ect but the balance however may be more or less than the corrupted wallet.dat file I only have a very rough idea of the balance of the corrupt file, this makes sense to me as the power cut occurred between the older backup and the corrupted file were last edited
So How do I go about uncorrupting the latest wallet.dat file that I have
cheers
If you are unsure if the amounts are correct you can try to rescan the whole blockchain from the start using "startcoin-qt.exe -rescan" It will then read through all transactions and update the amounts (in theory at least). This can take some time depending on your HD speed.
