Transactions went through - For anyone else having problems this sequence was a solution to a combination of problems i was having. All detailed instructions on how to do the below are given above by very generous members.1. use the console to download the blockchain not the client, when the blockchain is downloaded close the console2. Backup you wallet backups IMPORTANT use xeroc's instructions above.3. Open the client and import a backup. Here I has to close and restart my client but i dont know if my computer froze. Enter you password.4. Let the client sync the blocks since you closed the console. 5. Goto your wallet name top left of the client click on it and then select advanced at the bottom. In PREFERENCES change the log out time so its much longer. I had to do this because the console has to scan transactions now the blockchain has downloaded and with the default timeout I was getting logged out before the transaction scanning was complete. 6. Hopefully now you are free to play.
Just wait for the resync to finish up ...
Quote from: stuartcharles on April 29, 2015, 12:49:20 pmI got back into the wallet after following xeroc's instructions (many thanks) but i still carnt do anything because it keeps crashing before uploading the chain. I am trying this from bitshares_client but it keeps crashing here too. Any suggestions?puh ... do you get an error message?can you let the bitshares_client.exe run until synced with the chain BEFORE opening the "wallet" with your funds?

I let it download the chain then typed exit and loaded the bitshares client and got the same problem, carnt login. What shal i try next?Try the console version to load your wallet:1) start bitshares_client.exe2) wait until you see the ">>>"3) wallet_open default .. will open your default wallet4) wallet_unlock 9999999 ... will ask for your passphrase (blind input) and unlock it for 9999999 seconds5) wait for the wallet to rescan the latest blocks (you can get status about that by getinfo)6) your balance can be seen with balance6) transaction history can be accessed with history <accountname>Thanks, i did this and i got a long error message that starts status: corruption: error in middle of record. I could send you a screen shot but i don't know how to insert an image and i don't know if there is any information to private for the forum?Looks like a corrupted database .. nothing to be afraid of as long as you have at least one backup of your wallet (which you should because they are created automatically) .. they are located in %APPDATA%\Roaming\BitShares\wallets\.backups ...get the one with the latest date in it and import using the GUI menu bar ..before you do so .. better make a backup of the 'default' folder in the wallets directory of BitShares ..

All that expensive RAM wasted on a 32bit Windows... As you can see it can only use below 4 GB.You need to upgrade to 64bit (you can do this within the same license).System requirements for Bitshares should list 64bit system, since the program is essentially unusable with 4GB of RAM anyway.Thanks for the input. The RAM is not wasted. I have lots of hard drives using this computers hardware some of them make better use of it.Hard drives have nothing to do with it. Unless you're talking about some type of virtualized environment, you're NOT using that RAM. Nothing in your system is able to address the space above 4GB. The extra 12 GB are just sitting there dormant.

On Linux it is ~/.BitSharesThanks for your help RiverheadI saved my wallet file. Deleted the bitshares directory.Re installed bitshares and re inserted my wallet directoryAgain doesn't load with my password. This time after entering my password it appears to load for a few seconds then stops. The same thing happens if i put anything in as password. I have entered the correct password and left it running. CPU usage is between 5% and 22% RAM is 912,486 Any more advice appreciated

I had this problem but as soon as I re-imported my wallet, everything was fine.
Few questions:1) What OS are you on?2) What are the stats of the wallet machine?3) When you say, "Uninstalled everything" do you also mean your data directory (location based on OS).4) How many accounts do you have in your wallet (rough number will do 1 or 2, 10 - 20, 50+)

Just downloaded 0.9.0 and i still cant get access to my wallet. When i put the password it just keeps looking like its about to unlock.This is getting frustrating now. I have uninstalled everything and re installed. Please advise, with simple instructions please.
