Ok I have tried updating and now somehow I have ended up with a new wallet and the coins from my last wallet/address are no longer there
I did a backup using the backup wallet option before I upgraded and tried to fix things
However I can't see any option to restore my wallet from a backup ?
How am I supposed to restore my wallet from the backup I made?
the backup should have saved a wallet.dat somewhere, you need to take that and override the new one created with the reinstall
