Ember - Warning

Warning: error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly, but transaction data or address book entries might be missing or incorrect.

OK

This can sometimes occur if you move wallets between OSes. Is that when this error occurred? Otherwise this can occur when you shut down the process before it is done shutting down as that misses key steps and over time has the capability to corrupt wallet data.

it happens every time I restart the wallet. I have never moved the wallet from my desktop computer.

Hiya this happens to me everytime now and does a rescan. It first started happening when I hit the 850m bug and got a runtime error. If it bothers you, you can either use a backup wallet.dat before the error occurred or in console dumpprivkey (address). Move the wallet.dat somewhere safe just incase then next time you open your wallet it make a new wallet.dat and in console importprivkey (the private key you got from your old wallet) then it wont cause that error anymore.
