Thanks. I am in the process of doing that.
It should end sometimes in next few hours.

One more question - I am backing my wallet.dat in a few places after every transaction in my bitcoin core wallet (I rarely use it)
In case my computer crashes and I install a new version of bitcoin core, I know I should copy my backup wallet back to the wallet directory.

I still don't understand one thing - in the newly installed bitcoin core - should I simply use my old pass phrase in order to send bitcoins?
Is this pass pharse  basically the one that is protecting my wallet? (I have chosen a very strong one...)

Hi all

I have installed Bitcoin core 11.2 a week ago. It worked fine till today, when I got the following error (it happens shortly after bitcoin core starts):
"Error reading from database, shutting down".

Restarting my PC didn't help

I a using Windows7

Please advise - How can I fix it?

Yours

Asaf
