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?

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.
