DBISAM Engine Error Code 11949 and a dozen other errors

[BuckSkin]

I have used this program problem free for ages until today.

Now, anything I click throws an error.

I have completely and meticulously uninstalled, restarted, and installed anew numerous times and still am getting nothing but errors.

When I tried to follow the advice to another user, I finally got the main menu window to come up and selected the View tab; however, when I click Options to follow through with the instructions given the other user, I get  = Table Clips: Field 'Index' Not Found

I guess I have also lost all of my saved clips with no way to retrieve them.

Thank you for any help.


UPDATE: I have just now once again meticulously removed every trace of the program from ALL folders and the Registry and restarted the machine twice before installing anew and that did not help at all = still getting errors no matter what I do.

Sounds like something else might have changed, rather than CHS (?)

Have you tried the portable version?

FINALLY -----

The more I tried to get rid of the corrupted install, the more it kept throwing various errors; so bad that I couldn't use the computer for anything else without the screen getting bombarded with Clipboard Help and Spell Errors.

I finally found a Donation Coder folder in a place I never would have thought to look = My Documents

Thinking there might possibly be a database in there that might just have all my clips still saved in it, I created another temporary folder and copied the contents into that.

Then I deleted everything from that Donation Coder folder save for a single file that had the extension .loc(if my memory serves)

The Clipboard Help & Spell window was up on my screen and any attempt to close it resulted in jillions of erors.

Any attempt o delete that .loc file resulted in same.

I really don't know just what I did; but, I finally managed to get rid of that file and the folder it was in.

This was the last vestige of the faulty installation.

I restarted the machine twice.

Then, I was finally able to install afresh and everything seems to be working as it should.


Now, please tell me there is something in that old renamed Donation Coder folder that I can swap into my new installation and get back all of my clips.

You've probably compared the new and old folders by now -- there are backup and database folders.
From the Options within CHS there is a "Backup etc." tab, with a "Restore database backup" button.
If that doesnt work, you could try replacing the database manually.
