Please help me, Thank You.

Can you post the debug.log file? It'll be in the same folder as the bitcoin wallet and will provide more tehcnical information so the problaem can be diagnosed better.

Interesting. Thank you for trying that, I know what the problem is now and how you can fix it (although it is a bug that needs to be looked at).

Go to the Bitcoin Core datadir (same place where you find the debug.log file). Then either edit or create a bitcoin.conf file. Add to that file the following line:

Code:

usehd=0

Then start Bitcoin Core and it should work.

[qasimilyas99]

I have created bitcoin.conf file then added the following line: usehd=0 , it's problem solved & Bitcoin Core version 0.14.2 working correctly, but my bitcoins not showing, Very very thanks for your cooperation.

[achow101]

but my bitcoins not showing

Are you fully synced yet? If not, let it sync. If you are synced, try rescanning. Add rescan=1 to your bitcoin.conf file and start Bitcoin Core. Once Core has started, remove that line so that you don't rescan every time you start Core.

Also, would you be willing to send me your wallet.dat file, after you move all of your Bitcoin out of it of course. I want to investigate what is causing the error so that I can determine whether it is a bug in Core and if it can be fixed.

[qasimilyas99]

It's not fully synced yet, My wallet.dat is password protected & I don't know password, I'm finding best tool for recovering my password, Thank You for your cooperation.

If you don't know the password then the core cannot work out what your private keys are and your addresses. There's no point syncing your core version until you unencrypt your wallet.dat. as it'll have to rescan at the least. Unless your addresses show.
