Title: client won't start with backup wallet file.
Post by: nazgulnarsil on June 30, 2011, 06:17:38 AM
tried deleting everything in bitcoin folder except wallet file.  bitcoin refuses to run and states:
11Dbexception
Db::open:invalid argument

and closes immediately.

completely lost on how to use bitcoin tools.  downloaded python and bitcoin tools but get errors when I try to run any bitcoin tools commands. (windows 7)

halp there are 7 coins in this wallet.  :-[

Be sure to use the Python 2.x branch, not 3.x.
