Hi. I'm facing some problems with my client. Seems like Gui won't show up after I start the client, however I can see it in the taskbar. I can right clik on it and see options, I can see that the client is sinchronizing but the gui just won't show up. Any Idea?
I've tried to delete all files except wallet.dat, put new downloaded files back and restart but had no luck.
Thanks in advance.
-
Try redownloading the client and replace the old one to see if the problem will be solved that way.
-
Did you just install it or did it work before the problem occurred?
-
It happened to me on a very old computer with low performance, what I did was to kill the process first, and reopen it then waiting for enough time to let the window pop out
-
run your client via command line or batch file with -reindex. This uses the downloaded blocks already on the pc, then when it's done it will continue where it left off.

Hi thanks for your answers. Tried all of that, but still the same. Client is starting, just the GUI isn't showing up. Tried with 0.4.0 and -rescan option but nothing seems to work. Will try on another PC and report.
With regards

ok, so let's get serious.
1) which operating system
2) which version of the client
3) your specs
-
Sorry forgot to post specs...
Windows 7 64 bit , 2gb RAM
Client ver. 0.4.0 (before was on 0.2.0)
When I start the client I can see the first screen (veryfiyng blockchain, loading addresses, ...) but then when the gui should show up nothing happens. However I can see the icon in the task bar,when I right click on it i can see options, debug window, exit and so on. So the client is working working properly just the gui isn't. Worked like a charm for few days but suddenly no gui.
regards, zrataj

You say you tried -rescan, did you try -reindex?
Try starting your client with -reindex in console. this will reindex the blocks on your hdd and then connect to the network to sync.
Mac os /Applications/ProtoShares-Qt-0.2.0.app/Contents/MacOS/ProtoShares-Qt -reindex
Windows -- /yourpath/protoshares-qt.exe -reindex

Yes tried but no joy. I can remember I had the very same problem with bitcoin client some years ago, but back then I just ended the process in the task manager and restarted the client and it worked.
-
are there any coins in the wallet?
-
Yes there are coins. Offcourse i have a backup of the wallet.
-
i'm sorry for the inconvenience, by day's end, i'll try have a version that you can try use.
-
No problem. I appreciate your help. So if I can help you just let me know. You need some debug logs or anything else? Some testing or what? Like I said just let me know. The coins are no problem, I will move the wallet to another PC in the worst case.
Thank you
zrataj

keep your wallet.dat only and try with this version.

I have PTS client v4.8.5 that I am trying to run on windows7.
I have tried adding every node I can find on the forum without any luck ???
Any suggestions?
Thanks
-
is it possible that the blockchain is just taking a very long time to load - can you put the blockchain on a external hard drive (launch client with '-datadir=(external drive and folder)'

Hi. sorry to say, it's the same. Tried with -reindex option and still no joy. Only thing I can try is system rollback. Can it affect my wallet.dat somehow?

Just tried it. The PC says its missing ddl file libgcc_s_dw2-1. But I have downloaded this file.
edit: I have now got the client to work and added a bunch of nodes, but still nothing. Its fine though, I will just keep using the mac version.
Thanks
