Zotero won't start, cannot delet zotero.sqlite-journal
Hello everyone,
I use zotero firefox and the Word application. At some point the insertion mask would not give me any suggestions from my literature database anymore, so I restarted the program and my PC.
Now zotero does not start anymore. Error Message "Es gab einen Fehler beim Start von Zotero." (German, in English something like 'There was an error starting Zotero').
I tried to restart my PC and reinstalled the program.
One thing I found suspicious was that the file 'zotero.sqlite-journal' cannot be deleted, renamed, or such.
The console entries are the following:
ReferenceError: dw_locktimer is not defined js.php:1
TypeError: $tree.dw_tree is not a function js.php:1
TypeError: History.getState is not a function _zoterowwwAll.bugly.1404411079.js:4478
Would you please help me?
Many thanks in advance!

But otherwise, what Aurimas says: security software, file permissions, malware, or a network share.
thank you for your fast responses. So, aurimas you're right, the error-specification came from the web console. In the browser console there are no errors though.
The Zotero Standalone error console yields the following:
Timestamp: 18.09.2014 09:49:37
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80630002 (NS_ERROR_STORAGE_IOERR) [mozIStorageService.openDatabase]" nsresult: "0x80630002 (NS_ERROR_STORAGE_IOERR)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js :: Zotero.DBConnection.prototype._getDBConnection :: line 1134" data: no]
Source File: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/zotero.js
Line: 820
I have gained access again after I moved the data and changed the directory within the Mozilla application.
Thank you so much!
