error starting Zotero

tam
I've been using the older version of Zotero for a few months now and last week it started to act up a bit (it wouldn't let me save new webpages etc...) and now it's stopped working completely. There's a little triangle with an exclamation point in it over the program and when I click on it a box pops up that says

[Javascript Application]
There was an error starting Zotero.

I'm wondering if maybe I should just download the new version, but If it do, will it bring along everything I had saved in my older version or is it gone forever??

Thanks,
Tam

    If you upgrade, you shouldn't lose your data, at least as long as you're running Firefox 3 or later. (There was a bug in Firefox 2 that could lead to data corruption under certain circumstances.) Of course, it never hurts to back up first.

    You should probably run the DB Repair Tool before upgrading.
