Same for me. I used .38.1 to create wallet and it worked. I used .39 and it worked but i coulnt send my coins, wallet just stoped responding. Then i used the last one and it just keep initializing forever.
And every newer version of wallet i got the older ones just died, they cant start.
Any solution to all this? I would be nice to pull my coins out.
Same issue here. I also sent coins to an old wallet that I can't open, and can't get the new version to initialize using my old wallet to receive the coins Id sent.
Bah!
I was using 38.0 and had sent coins to that wallet, then it asked if I wanted to update and it updated to 38.1, once it did that the client just stop responding when it would be run.
Then I imported the wallet from the 38.0 version to the new beta 39 since it actually opens, but it never finishes initializing and hangs around block 7X,XXX, i forgot exactly which block but every time the blockchain stops downloading I restart the client and it has to start all over again.
Hope I didn't lose all my coins lol.
