Title: My bitcoin exe is gone... Post by: sille on April 19, 2013, 03:03:04 PM Hello!
I use bitcoin-qt wallet. I opened it once and closed it, and now a few hours later i want to open it again. I press the start menu and go to the folder, but then i see that the exe icon is not loading, and when i press it it tells me that its gone... I looked in all folders and cant find it :D I had a transfer coming to this wallet, but it was not fully synched. So how do i resume this transfer? Can i reinstall and insert my old "address" or something? Thx! Title: Re: My bitcoin exe is gone... Post by: BitcoinBoss on April 19, 2013, 03:06:58 PM Did you backup the wallet.dat file?
Title: Re: My bitcoin exe is gone... Post by: sille on April 19, 2013, 03:10:05 PM I have not done anything yet.
But i read about that, if i do save that file, can i reinstall and put it in there and it will work as the old address? Title: Re: My bitcoin exe is gone... Post by: BitcoinBoss on April 19, 2013, 03:11:55 PM I think so, that's the way I understand it. However I am a bit of a newbie to Bitcoin so does anyone else know if I am right on this?

To do that on Windows: Go to Start Menu > Run (or press WinKey+R) and run: explorer %APPDATA%\Bitcoin wallet.dat is the file you need to backup Title: Re: My bitcoin exe is gone...
