Ah… just read u r using ShadowLite. Try a regular sync and that should sort you out. I dunno if u gotta re-download blockchain or not. Pop in IRC for more extended support if u continue to have probs.
Regarding backup: Copy the wallet.dat to a USB stick. When restoring simply replace whatever wallet.dat file the new wallet generates with a copy of your one making sure the shadowcash wallet is not running at the time.
All right, so backup wallet.dat, close wallet, wipe everything else in ~\AppData\Roaming\ShadowCoin, restart wallet and copy over my wallet.dat?
Sorry for such a noobish questions, but these instructions aren't available @ SDC wiki or else.. it might be a good idea to post a few of these "tutorials" for newbies – is SDC wiki open to such submissions?
As you said but no need to delete wallet.dat before replacing it since you're not moving your wallet between computers.
SO (what I would do)
1. backup ur wallet.dat to a USB stick
2. quit SDC wallet if running
3. delete everything in app roaming except the wallet.dat
4. restart shadowcash wallet and wait for a regular sync
Did you check shadow.cash for tutorials? It already has some. More always good
note: The sync is slow but this issue has been addressed iirc and will be MUCH faster in a future wallet.
