Thanks Voidlord

I did as you advised and got an Opal coin message stating that

Quote

wallet.dat corrupt, salvage failed

So clicked on the copy I had made of the waller.dat and tried again

This time the wallet opened and started syncing but then I got the same messages as described in my previous post, i.e.

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Followed by this:

Opal-Qt.exe has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

In the meantime thanks again for your help so far.

Hi 4emily,

I just tested a fresh win 7 install, it seems to work like this:

First of all: go to your click Organize (upper left on a file explorer), click "Folder and search options", then:
-Check Show Hidden Folders
-Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"
click Apply/Ok

~~Dl the Opal-Qt~~, you did
Install the Wallet, and... let it crash
go to C:\Users\Yourname\Appdata\Roaming\Opalcoin
Save your wallet.dat in another folder, erase all the files and folder in Opalcoin,
Then create a new opalcoin.txt with the notepad (or better with notepad++)
copy paste these addnodes in it:

Code:

addnode=46.165.209.144
addnode=54.64.155.117
addnode=79.32.104.81
addnode=192.241.222.102
addnode=173.199.124.185
addnode=65.30.37.95

do not add other argument.
save the file as:
opalcoin.conf
Beware ! when i did that, i saw an:
opalcoin.conf
file but, as i did not uncheck the "Hide Known file extension" the file's real name was:
opalcoin.conf.txt (.txt hidden)
You will be warmed "if you change the file extension, the file should be non-readable" or something like that, ignore it, We need a simple opalcoin.conf
the opalcoin.conf file must change from a white and blue stripes .txt icon, to a white .conf icon.

Once you only have this opalcoin.conf, in C:\Users\Yourname\Appdata\Roaming\opalcoin
Restart your wallet... and tell me
