Anyone having difficulty with 0.4.5 should install the new 0.4.5 You can download it at:
http://bitshares-x.info/about.php
If you get the error crashrpt 1402.dll is missing, then you can download that file at:
https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/raw/master/CrashRpt/bin/CrashRpt1402.dll
In order for me to get a successful syncing to start, I MADE A BACKUP BY EXPORTING MY WALLET TO MY DESKTOP FROM THE MY WALLET SOFTWARE. Then I uninstalled the software, version 0.4.4 for me might be older for you, and then I deleted the BitShares X folder in C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\BitShares X (I also made a backup of the folder on the desktop, just in case there was an issue)
I then installed the 0.4.5 software, opened it, accepted the agreement, It will take you to the create a new wallet section, I clicked on File, Import wallet and imported the JSON backup from my desktop. The software asks for the password for the wallet that's being restored. I think it also makes a backup of the current wallet, I dont really know.
So now I have my wallet imported and I am syncing back from the start, the reason I did this is because when I first installed 0.4.5 I was getting stuck with the syncing, I don't know if this was because of the fork that someone mentioned in a thread today, or perhaps just a bug with the software, or MOST LIKELY just was my ineptitude and incompetence. LOL. I hope this works, it will take awhile for the wallet to be completely synced up. I'll report back, and hopefully this thread might help someone that was having issues like me. But I imagine most of you are much better with this stuff than me.
Thanks!

I just wanted to update:
My method of doing a fresh install and wallet import after uninstalling 0.4.5 and completely deleting the C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\BitShares X folder worked! My wallet was imported with ease, and the blockchain is fully synced!
+5% for me!
Thanks to devs who make this awesome software and quickly update it!

About the crash, you mean 0.4.5 or previous version?

Try rescan, It may indicates that the wallet is in a dirty state that miss the cached key for your balance.
Did you have crash issues before?

I had that issue when I first installed. I had to uninstall all previous versions and delete THE WHOLE bitshares x file from appdata/roaming and then install, accept agreement, and import wallet.
The more detailed instructions are in my post at the top of this thread.
