hello, I would have posted this in alternate currencies but I cant yet. This is my question. My litecoin client 0.6.3c-win32 is crashing on startup. this is the error I am getting.

A fatal error occured. Litecoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.

exception: st9bad_alloc
std::bad_alloc
c:\users\Sxlosnman\desktop\litecoin-0.6.3c-win32\litecoin-qt.exe in runaway exception.

ok I have tried to re install and I keep getting the same error. this is puzzling because I had litecoin running on this system before

win 7 64bit  hd6670  dualcore amd athlon 2gig memory.

I have no idea what that error even means. is the file size trying to change ie a virus? Maybe someone with more technical knowledge can tell me more and maybe how to fix it.

I have absolutely no anti virus, I almost always know what im clicking but it wouldnt surprise me the slightest if I got one now, Ive been running alot of bitcoin and litecoin programs lately and I could dl'd something with a virus I dunno. What do you think? thanks in advance. 

oh yeah have fun hacking my wallet which will take you days and yield you about 3 litecoins and ZERO bitcoins. have fun with that.

Nice description of a 100% secure way of no malware and whateverware on your PC.

I believe that like most of the uninstallers, Litecoin doesn't remove the files from "%APPDATA%/Litecoin". Downloading all the whole blocks is a pain in the a**, but some of those files could be corrupted.


If someone is going to hack your wallet, remember that is a program that do the work, the hard work is to "put" the program in the PC, if you encrypt your wallet, even a keyboard hook do the work :)

You should smoke less.

now what kinda attitude is that? thats like telling me to breath less lol. anyways im downloading avast as we speak. if i find a virus ill report back to hopefully save the next noob like me with the same problem. if its not a virus id still like someone to possibly explain to me what that error means, what its doing and obviously why its happening.

after my scan I am going to follow darkhyudra's advice and clear all litecoin files in the appdata roaming directory. iv already backed up my wallet so it should be no biggie.

Any virtualization solution involved ?

If your litecoin client runs in a VM, depending of the virtualization solution, it could be the origin of your problems.
(for example, default openvz containers won't "see" any swap, buffers or cache ; if you hit available memory limit, application may fail to allocate more memory)
