Automatic shutdown when starting zotero
Hello,
I encounter a message below when starting zotero and clikcing the 'check for update' box shutdown the program.
Can you help me on this issue?
Thanks.
There was an error starting Zotero.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
You can try to fix the damage with the DB Repair Tool. If that doesn't work, and your data is all online, you can just delete the zotero.sqlite file (or move it somewhere temporarily for backup) with Zotero closed and then reopen Zotero and sync to pull down your library.
