Error message and instable program after windows crash #87

Closed Echtze1t closed 4 years ago

Echtze1t commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I had a BSOD yesterday for the first time in maybe five years (Windows 8.1). Since then, RSSOwl is running unstable. First it wouldn't start at all and now it just randomly crashes without warning.

I tried to fix it with re-installing all the files. I also did a cleanup, which runs through, but when it is started, the following error pops up:

Untitled

the messages clearly tells you that it cannot write to the harddisk for some reason. by default it writes stuff under %userprofile%\.rssowlnix-beta. clean up would create files in .rssowlnix-beta\.metadata\.plugins\org.rssowl.core. there is the database. so make sure that is possible.

The folder and the HDD are both writable just fine. This only happened after the crash, so it is directly connected. My guess is, that one or more files were corrupted. I thought maybe you could tell by that error message.

Can I send you a log file or something else?

another reason why it cannot write maybe because it is already opened. check tasmanager list if an rssowlnix.exe is already running even when no taskbar button exist. if yes kill it.

i doubt ill figure out the reason, try a fresh start and then replace the new db with the old one. like i described in #85.

maybe on a crash it takes a while for the program to end. if were to restart to fast the old one would still be running. try checking in taskmanager how long it takes for it to close after you close the crash window.
